ROANOKE, Va. – Tuesday night update:
Conditions are calm Tuesday morning as temperatures slowly warm up with partly cloudy skies building in.
Afternoon temperatures will be near normal on Tuesday, with most spots being slightly cooler than normal. An increase in cloud cover also comes as we head further into the day.
Showers and storms are expected to move in as well. The severe risk is a level 1/5 for most of the area, but a few counties in the NRV are under a level 2/5 risk.
Flash flooding is also possible due to the recent heavy rains. Pockets of significant rain are expected for some as this system pushes through. Isolated flash flooding is possible.
Here is a look at 4 p.m. Tuesday afternoon. Isolated showers and storms are likely to push in ahead of the front. Most will stay dry until later on.
By 10 p.m., the Highlands are seeing scattered rain push in.
Then, between midnight and 4 a.m., a line of showers and storms moves through. The leading edge of this line will likely bring some gusty winds and heavy pockets of rain. Small hail is also likely, and though the chance for an isolated tornado is low, it is still possible.
Showers and storms start to fall apart and push east as we get closer to sunrise Wednesday morning.
