Near-record warmth Wednesday afternoon

ROANOKE, Va. – Lynchburg tied its record high temperature Tuesday afternoon, and it appears that some of us will come close to doing that again Wednesday afternoon.

Some early morning clouds give way to sunshine. That should be enough to push temperatures into the upper 60s and lower 70s in the higher elevations and mid to upper 70s elsewhere.
