ROANOKE, Va. â Sunday Evening Update
It has been warm and beautiful today, with temperatures slightly above average! However, as we head into the workweek, this pattern will be a thing of the past.
Moisture will be on the rise through tonight and tomorrow as a cold front marches towards the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. This will bring the much-needed chance of showers and thunderstorms back into the forecast!
Beginning Tuesday, pre-frontal showers will move into the area, with the main event of widespread rainfall expected to arrive on Wednesday.
Along with the rain in the forecast this week, we also have a temperature rollercoaster! High temperatures starting off the workweek are back in the upper 70s and 80s, but we will finish off the workweek by returning to the lower 70s and upper 60s!
Sunday Morning Update
The mornings have been crispy, and the past couple of afternoons have been rather warm, but changes are coming.
Today we are going to get into the 70s with some areas in Southside reaching the 80s. We will see those temperatures stick around into the early parts of the week along with the same dry weather pattern weâve been having for the last couple of days.
Tuesday afternoon/evening, a cold front will pass through bringing some showers into the area. These showers will hang around going into Wednesday as well as give us a cool down.
Come Thursday we will turn drier with seasonable weather returning for next weekend.
The tropics are still active and we are now tracking a wave off the coast of Africa that has been gaining potential for growth. In the next week, it has a 60% chance for development.
Should this develop into a larger system, the next name on deck from the National Hurricane Center is Jerry.
We will start off the week dry and have above average temperatures. Once we hit Tuesday our rain odds will grow as the aforementioned cold front passes through.
Wednesday will bring scattered to widespread showers that last throughout the day.
Ending the week we will see the temperatures cool off and the sunshine return with just a slight cloud cover.
