ROANOKE, Va. – One consistent part of our weather this week has been the wind, so we might as well finish strong. Wind speeds Friday will range from 10 to 20 mph with gusts of 20 to 35 mph along and west of the Parkway.

Temperatures, however, will be similar to what we had Thursday. Highs top out in the 40s in the New River Valley and Highlands and 50s elsewhere. Get outside, and enjoy it, because the weekend is looking colder.
That will especially be the case in the mornings when we awake to temperatures in the 20s. Highs Saturday will range from the 30s in the New River Valley to 40s elsewhere. We’re all in the 40s with increasing clouds later Sunday.
Those clouds come ahead of our next weather system. There’s not a firm source of cold air, meaning that the potential for wintry weather is pretty low Monday. The only exception to that might be near and north of I-64, where we could see a period of freezing rain later on.
Much of Tuesday and Wednesday are calm.
However, high pressure (our cold air source) will be locked in north of here. At the same time, another storm system will be coming in from the west. This could mean a heightened potential for snow/wintry weather in our region Wednesday night and Thursday.
It’s far too soon for specifics, but it’s a pattern that has our attention already. Keep up with the latest developments and forecasts by downloading our app.
