ROANOKE, Va. – Tuesday was a nice change of pace that offered temperatures in the 40s for us.
While Wednesday starts out cold and frosty, sunshine will once again give our temperatures a welcomed boost.
Highs reach the 47-53° range by the afternoon - nice enough to take a walk and burn some Christmas calories!
Afternoons continue warming Thursday and Friday, thanks to an increased breeze out of the west and southwest.
By New Year’s Eve, we’ll be overcast with rain showers arriving during the afternoon.
Most forecast data suggests rain into the evening with a break in the action as we get closer to midnight.
With our storm system northeast of here and cold air nowhere to be found, New Year’s Day looks brighter and warmer.
Highs reach into the 60s by the afternoon, which is about 15° above average!
Above-average warmth is likely to continue at night and each day through much of next week, though there will be waves of rain between next Tuesday and Thursday.
