Scattered storms late Tuesday precede a fall feel later in the week

A cold front brings scattered storms and a cool-down while pushing Lee away from us

ROANOKE, Va. – Tuesday mimics Monday’s warm-up with pretty typical temperatures from start to finish.

High temperature forecast for Tuesday, 9/12/2023

You can feel a little added humidity in the air, though.

That warmth and humidity will team up with a cold front, giving us the chance for scattered storms later in the day and lasting into the night.

While a few isolated downpours will be possible Wednesday, it looks as though the air will gradually turn less humid from morning to afternoon.

That kind of drop in humidity is something that will last us into the rest of the week.

A drop in humidity means a quicker drop in temperatures at night and each morning.

The coolest mornings since early June are on the way, giving us a fall feel to end the week.
