Tonight through Thursday
ROANOKE, Va. – After another nice day to be outside on Tuesday, our weather changes tonight through Thursday. A cold front will impact the region and bring passing showers and storms to the area. The rain will come in waves with some breaks in the wet weather expected every now and again for the next 48 hours. For example, we will begin Wednesday wet, but may briefly catch a lull in the early afternoon...only to have more showers and storms enter later in the day, lasting into the evening. The best chance for nasty, severe storms should stay to the southwest of us. And at this point, we look wetter Wednesday and Wednesday night than we do on Thursday, but you will still want the umbrella handy through Thursday evening.
Temperatures will be warm on Wednesday, reaching the mid-to-upper 70s. But we will cool down on Thursday, falling into the upper 60s.
Friday into the weekend
We will dry out and see more sunshine on Friday. And even Saturday looks to be pretty nice most of the day. We may have a few showers early on Saturday (like till about lunchtime), but more of us will be dry than get wet to start the weekend. A better chance for rain/storms may move in on Sunday. Pop-up, mainly PM t-showers are possible as we close out the weekend. Both Saturday and Sunday will be partly sunny.
Temperatures will warm up this weekend, topping out in the middle 70s on Saturday, climbing to near 80 on Sunday.
Early next week’s outlook
We may start the next work week with a continued chance for isolated showers or storms. But beyond that, Tuesday and Wednesday both look dry.
Temperatures will fall into the low-to-mid 70s early next week.
