The storm system that’s given us widespread rain overnight will pull away to the east Wednesday, leaving us with scattered showers Wednesday morning. By the afternoon, we trend drier with perhaps a few breaks of sunshine west of the Parkway.
The recent rain and a calm wind will lead to some areas of fog late Wednesday night and Thursday morning. Once the fog clears, however, we’re on our way to a nice afternoon Thursday. High temperatures will rebound into the 60s!
This is only the beginning of a warming trend that will help cure our cabin fever. A southwest wind will develop Friday, allowing temperatures to reach the upper 70s and lower 80s. A warm front to our north may help spark a few showers well north of U.S. 460.
That warm front, however, may sag far south enough by Saturday to give us a few morning showers from Lynchburg and Roanoke to the north. Its exact location is key to Saturday’s forecast. Areas like Lynchburg may be a few degrees cooler than places like Wytheville and Blacksburg.
The warmth lingers into Sunday. Afterward, a cold front moves through and drops us into the 60s by Monday afternoon.
