ROANOKE, Va. – Our welcomed break from humidity results in a pleasant stretch of weather that continues for us Wednesday.
High temperatures reach the 70s and 80s, which is just slightly below average for early August.
You may still notice haze from wildfire smoke in western Canada.
The likelihood of that getting close to the surface is pretty low, but it did make for an orange tinge to the supermoon Tuesday night.
Meanwhile, a front to the southwest will usher in rain Thursday and shove any of that smoky haze northeast of us.
The chance for flooding Thursday will be highest in parts of Tennessee, where the threat for training thunderstorms (storms that move over the same area) is higher.
Still, we’ll see occasional showers late Thursday morning into the afternoon.
These wrap up Friday morning.
Clouds linger, keeping temperatures in the 70s and lower 80s. We’ll be in between storm systems Saturday and Sunday, meaning that temperatures recover to more typical mid-summer levels.
Storm chances rise by Monday, and some of those could be stronger given more wind above us.
