ROANOKE, Va. – Tuesday starts out seasonably cold with most areas in the 20s and lower 30s early on. High-level clouds drift into the area at times during the day, though there’s enough dry air to limit any precipitation from developing.
High temperatures Tuesday afternoon will be close to average levels.
The same could be said for Wednesday, which will feature a little more cloud cover at times.
Another storm system moves east of the Rockies, producing the chance for severe weather from east Texas to the upstate of South Carolina between Wednesday and Thursday.
For us, it brings rain (heavy at times) late Thursday afternoon into Thursday night.
Once the storm’s center moves east, we’ll notice the wind picking up late Friday with snow accumulating on the west-facing slopes through Saturday.
A few scattered snow showers and sleet pellets will spill over the mountains, but accumulations will be pretty sporadic and limited.
