Sunny streak continues through at least the weekendROANOKE, Va. – Wednesday’s wall-to-wall sunshine was so nice, we’ll do it twice! Highs range from the lower 50s in the New River Valley to lower 60s in Southside. Planets to see in the eastern sky before sunrise FridayDespite sunshine, we’ll likely need to stay bundled up at times this weekend. Low pressure north of Maine will keep the flow of cold air locked into the Eastern U.S. Weekend high temperature forecast for the first weekend of March 2021Once that area of low pressure loses its grip, we’ll warm up really nicely next week.

ROANOKE, Va. – It rained nearly two-thirds of February this year, so it’s safe to say we’re due for a dry and sunny stretch. In fact, it’s been more than three months since we’ve had a completely dry week. Wednesday continues the dry stretch with temperatures climbing into the upper 50s and lower 60s area-wide. This is also what’s going to help pull down some colder air for the rest of the week and the weekend. What we're tracking for the first weekend of March - 2021Once high pressure moves off the East Coast, we’ll see the return of warmer air next week.

As the front clears the area, however, drier air comes in on the back side to clear things up a bit and make things feel more comfortable. A clear sky at night will help temperatures fall into the 40s first thing Wednesday morning. That clear sky will also allow us to see a few things in the pre-dawn sky. That’s a sign of cooler air coming in that will place us in the 30s each morning this weekend. Low temperatures the weekend of 10/17 and 10/18/2020We’ll see our fair share of sunshine this weekend, but expect crisp, cool autumn air to rule the roost.

ROANOKE, Va. – If you step out the door early this morning, you’ll notice the chill of autumnal air that is locked in the region. In fact, the New River Valley, Highlands and Botetourt County are all under a frost advisory until 9 a.m. Consider an extra warm cup of coffee to get this first weekend of October started. We’ll see the best colors in the New River Valley and Highlands this weekend. Some patches of color are starting to show up in the Roanoke Valley and along the Blue Ridge.

ROANOKE, Va. – In a year that has stood still and raced by at the same time, it’s still hard to believe that summer is coming to an end. We’ll fall into the 30s and 40s Tuesday morning which, for most of us, is not a record. This will warm things up by Wednesday and Thursday afternoons, as what’s left of Tropical Storm Beta looms west. What We're Tracking by Friday, 9/25/2020Beyond Beta, we’ll see a strong cold front come in from the west. As this dips south and grabs moisture from the Gulf, our chances for showers and storms will go up late Sunday into early next week.

A large area of high pressure is what we should thank for the wonderful weather. High vs. Low pressure (WSLS)After a cool start to the day, look for temperatures to warm to the low to mid 80s by afternoon. Well continue to see abundant sunshine and low humidity for this middle day of Labor Day weekend. Future Tracker Sunday 4 p.m. (WSLS)The weather looks pleasant for the Labor Day holiday as well. Three day humidity tracker (WSLS)While our local weather is quiet, the tropical Atlantic is quite active.

High pressure will settle in as our dominant weather maker and the sinking air will inhibit all rain chances and most cloud cover. Saturday planner (WSLS)If you like the cooler air this morning, youll be in luck tomorrow morning! Otherwise, well just call it free air conditioning as you can leave your windows open tonight and enjoy the cooler air. Sunday morning lows (WSLS)Labor Day will also feature morning lows in the 50s. Heres your Saturday morning weather headlines.

The average last freeze for the New River Valley and Highlands regions is later, either late April and early May. Average last freeze (4/11/2020) (WSLS)After the cold start, we expect relatively tranquil weather conditions across southwest Virginia. Rain will develop through the day tomorrow and it could become heavy at times tomorrow night. Sunday night's storm threats (4/11/2020) (WSLS)Storms will linger into Monday morning, but we’ll eventually dry out, warm up, and see the wind pick up by the afternoon. Behind a cold front, look for cooler and mostly quiet weather for the rest of the work week, save for a shower chance on Wednesday.

(CNN) - As we rolled into November, scientists discovered last month was the warmest October on record globally. The European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service, which analyzes temperature data from around the planet, said October 2019 was the warmest in their data record, which goes back to 1979. Last month narrowly edged out the previous record for October, set in 2015, by only 0.01 degrees Celsius (0.018 degrees Fahrenheit). This year has seen multiple other hottest-month records, including July, which Copernicus said was the warmest month of all on record, replacing the record set in July 2016. Every month in 2019 has ranked among the four warmest for the month in question.

ROANOKE, Va. - We're starting out cold with some frosty windshields early Monday morning. We're a little breezy at times Monday and Tuesday, as a weak front passes toward the north. We're mostly looking at a few showers late Thursday night into early Friday morning. It's at this point that some of the coldest air of the season marches into the area. As the wind calms down and the sky remains clear Friday night, temperatures will begin to plummet into the 20s by early Saturday morning.

Temperatures Friday morning start in the 40s and low 50s for many, before rising into the 70s to near 80 during the afternoon. You just might need the long sleeves for later in the game, when temperatures drop into the 60s. The jet stream is in the process of lifting back to the north, though, meaning that some hotter air will return fairly quickly. Expect highs in the low to mid 80s Saturday and mid to upper 80s Sunday, with only a couple stray showers west of the Parkway Saturday afternoon. With the jet stream mostly being located north and west of here, the chance for widespread rain is slim in the next week to ten days.

ROANOKE, Va. – The heat continues to surge as we near the end of the work week. Sunshine and southerly breeze push temperatures to around 90 degrees Thursday and Friday afternoon. Last year saw one 90 degree day in May and by the end of this week, we could double the monthly total. 2017 has a whole saw 31 90 degree days in Roanoke. We'll fall back to the 70s over the weekend as a cold front brings rain chances back Saturday and Sunday.
