ROANOKE, Va. – As was the case on Saturday morning, we are waking up to chilly temperatures around the area. Morning lows next few days (WSLS)Overall, today should be a pretty nice day despite the chilly start. We’ll be watching the upper level pattern closely the next few days to determine how high temperatures rise. Upper air pattern for Sunday (WSLS)The jet stream gradually retreats northward into the work week and an upper level ridge builds in across the eastern U.S. That means a warm-up for us. Upper level pattern for Wednesday (WSLS)We’ll start to gradually cool down a bit after Wednesday.

FutureTracker - 5 p.m. FridayBecause the front is moving through during the daytime, our high temperature has already happened. Morning lows on 10/17 and 10/18/2020In addition, it might not be a bad idea to fill up your tires. For every 10° drop in temperatures, tire pressure drops by 1 psi. Fall festivities forecast for Saturday, 10/17/2020While this will be some of the coolest daytime air we’ve had in months, it will still be sunny and nice! Upper air pattern next weekThe jet stream retreats north, meaning the autumn air does so as well.

Crisp, autumn air fades as sunshine goes to quick work throughout the rest of the day. Even as clouds develop near and east of the Blue Ridge Parkway, high temperatures will still rise into the 70s once again Thursday afternoon. Thursday's high temperature forecast - 10/15/2020This all changes once a cold front moves through the area Friday. Our high temperature will likely come early in the morning. Temperatures fall west of the Parkway and then level off in areas east of the Parkway throughout the day.

While we didn’t break any records, the frost in parts of the New River Valley and Highlands was “premature.”Full Screen 1 / 6 Photo: Doug Urbaniak - RaphineOn average, the first frost in parts of the New River Valley doesn’t happen for another 2 to 3 weeks. For those seeing a little frost this morning, it's coming quite early! When the air is dry and the wind is calm, the last piece of the puzzle is a clear sky. A clear sky is like a bed without blankets. Morning lows from 9/21 to 9/25/2020Lynchburg’s record low Tuesday is 41 degrees set back in 1962.
