Moisture from Eta to provide another soaking rain in our area
Dew point trends for the next four daysThis is when moisture from Eta meets up with a front coming in from the west. Rain may start light in the morning Wednesday, but it will become heavy at times in the afternoon and evening as the front sits nearby. FutureTracker showing moisture from Eta and a cold frontOur rainfall forecast indicates that most of the area will see 1-3โณ of rain between Wednesday and Thursday. If the front stalls over the area, however, weโll see continuing rounds of heavy rain throughout the day Thursday too. That would add to rain totals and the flood threat.

Clouds, fog, rain and temperature swings make for an active weekend in SW Virginia
ROANOKE, Va. โ After a lengthy stretch of quiet weather, things are finally starting to get a little more active this weekend. The first system to track is a cold front to the west of us that will push through during the day. Future Tracker Temperatures Sunday 3 p.m. (WSLS)Once the wedge loses its grip on our weather, weโll warm up a bit Monday through Wednesday. The next big chance of rain for our area is expected Thursday and Friday as a low pressure system emerges from the southwest. Future Tracker Sunday 5 p.m. (WSLS)Details on how much rain we will receive will become more clear as that system approaches.

Tracking river levels and fog, but overall, a pleasant holiday weekend!
ROANOKE, Va. โ River levels remain our top concern as we start the long, holiday weekend. Many rivers have come down from their crests, but weโre still tracking the Dan River at Danville, Paces and South Boston, as well as the Roanoke River at Altavista, Brookneal and Randolph. Southside river levels (WSLS)All the moisture from the rain has soaked into the ground, and with winds weakening overnight, weโve seen dense fog develop this morning. Saturday morning fog alerts (WSLS)We shouldnโt add too much rain this weekend, as daily storm chances stay low at 20 to 30 percent. Future Tracker Sunday 3 p.m. (WSLS)After such a wet and chilly week, I think many of you will notice the warmth this weekend.
