Temperatures spring forward following Monday morning fog

Watch for patches of dense fog Monday morning. Enjoy a taste of spring by the afternoon.

ROANOKE, Va. – The wind is light and coming in from the Atlantic, resulting in moisture at the surface. That means we’ll see areas of fog Monday morning. These will gradually clear out between 8 and 10 a.m.

Following that, temperatures rise into the 60s. This will continue the spring feel we had at times over the weekend.

High temperatures Tuesday reach into the 60s and 70s.

This comes out ahead of a system that will produce off-and-on rain Wednesday. Some pockets could be heavy.

Occasional rain showers are expected Wednesday.

Despite that, the flood threat looks pretty low. Most rain totals will range between half-an-inch and an inch-and-a-half. Though there may be some storms in the eastern half of the area, it looks like they’ll be more abundant closer to the East Coast.

Here's a breakdown of what to expect from Wednesday's system.
