ROANOKE, Va. – Tuesday’s setup is what brings near-normal high temperatures back into the region. An area of high pressure situated over the southeast is dragging in warmer and more moist air.
As a result, we see temperatures reach the upper 40s and low 50s for some later in the day.
Mostly clear skies through the first half of the night will allow temperatures to cool off quite a bit, with most of the region getting just below freezing.
Warmer air continues through the middle of the week before our next front marches in Thursday afternoon and evening. Warmer air will settle in ahead of the front, with slightly cooler air arriving for Friday behind the front.
The Winter Solstice takes place this Sunday! The start of astronomical winter is just around the corner!
Here is a look at your 7-day forecast. A few shots for rain occur between now and next week, with near or slightly above average temperatures returning.
