ROANOKE, Va. – Our Hump Day starts out cold once again, though it is February (you expect that!).
High-pressure overhead results in more sunshine once again, bringing temperatures into the low to mid-50s Wednesday. Despite additional clouds Thursday, a southwest breeze will give afternoon temperatures a little nudge.
That same southwest breeze will supply limited moisture to the region, allowing for some nighttime rain showers to move in. There may still be a few Friday morning, but that shouldn’t pose much concern to the commute.

Friday will still be mild, but colder air will catch up to us Friday night into Saturday. This cold snap is short-lived. While Sunday morning starts in the freezer, the afternoon turns milder.
A southerly breeze next week brings warmer air back into the mix, giving us a preview of spring. This comes ahead of a stronger cold front that brings a chance of rain and storms next Wednesday.
Expect high temperatures next week to be about 15 degrees above average.
Once that Wednesday front moves through, we’ll cool back down for the first couple of days of March.
