ROANOKE, Va. – Monday was a record cool day in the Roanoke Valley with a high temperature of only 69°.
With high pressure to the north keeping clouds locked in Tuesday, we expect a similar day.
It will be damp at times with patches of fog, mist, drizzle and/or light rain.
High temperatures will be well below average - topping out in the upper 60s to middle 70s.
The wedge finally breaks heading into Wednesday. Temperatures recover a bit under more sunshine than we’ve seen in the past two-to-three days.
As the air begins to turn more out of the west and southwest, we’ll turn warmer through the end of the week and this weekend.
Some moisture moving into the region, along with a little energy to play with, leads to the daily chance of showers and thunderstorms this weekend into early next week.
High temperatures will stay about five to seven degrees below average for mid-to-late August.
