ROANOKE, Va. – Temperatures warm up quickly on Wednesday as the region returns to the 80s. The warm theme looks to stick around for a few days as well.
Showers and storms are expected to develop in the afternoon. Here is a look at futurecast at 3 p.m. Wednesday. Isolated showers and storms get going in the mid-afternoon.
By 5 p.m., a group of scattered storms is possible along the Virginia and North Carolina state line.
By 8 p.m., rain begins to slowly fizzle out as it pushes out east.
And while the rain may be a bit annoying at times, we desperately need it. April has been exceptionally dry, and we have only seen half the normal amount of rain.
We are continuing to monitor the chance for showers and storms for the rest of the week thanks to a front moving in.
Temperatures will continue to be warmer than average until this front passes by where they return to near average. Have a look at how warm this month has been.
