We'll be in the upper 80s and low 90s Friday through Sunday in the NRV, Highlands and Mountain Empire and middle 90s in the Roanoke Valley, southern Shenandoah, Lynchburg and Southside. The air at times will likely feel like it's 100-105 from the Roanoke Valley to the southern Shenandoah and from Lynchburg to Southside. If the heat index is forecast to reach 105, then the National Weather Service will issue a Heat Advisory for parts of the area. (Heat is normal, but we've also seen more 90 heat through mid-July in Roanoke than any year since 1936.)
