ROANOKE, Va. – The radar was having to work hard on Labor Day, as was Your Local Weather Authority.
Showers and storms Tuesday afternoon and evening won’t be quite as widespread as what we saw both Sunday and Labor Day.
That said, some energy above us could generate a few hit-or-miss showers and storms both Tuesday and late Wednesday afternoons.
Humidity levels come down a touch heading into Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
No, it won’t feel like pumpkin spice and everything nice - but it also won’t be soupy out there.
That’s great news for high school football action Friday evening! Kickoff temperatures are expected to be in the 70s.
Fast-forward to the weekend, and we’ll be tracking an area of low pressure in the upper levels of the atmosphere. As that shifts north, so does the moisture.
We expect showers to increase late Saturday with heightened chances Sunday as well.
We’ll iron out the timing in the coming days, but this is something to keep in mind if you’re heading to the Beaver Dam Sunflower Festival in Buchanan or the Blue Ridge Rock Festival at VIR.
