ROANOKE, Va. – High pressure continues to dominate our weather pattern, resulting in a mostly sunny sky and warming afternoons Wednesday and Thursday. The mountains reach into the 70s, while areas like the Roanoke Valley, Lynchburg area and Southside peak in the 80s.
Enjoy that taste of early June, because more clouds and occasional showers return Friday as high pressure breaks down. We don’t expect any severe weather to materialize out of that storm system.

We’re in between systems Saturday, though an isolated afternoon shower will be possible. Highs will reach about 75 to 80°. The better chance of showers and storms arrives Sunday afternoon.
In addition to warmth, there’s plenty of wind above for storms to work with. Strong-to-severe thunderstorms will be possible during the afternoon hours as a line moves from west to east.
The weather turns more refreshing beyond that heading into Monday of next week.
