ROANOKE, Va. – As the remnants of Ian FINALLY move offshore, we’ll be rewarded with even nicer weather than the past couple of days.
High pressure takes over, leading to sinking air. This results in cool mornings through Friday but warmer afternoons.
Highs Wednesday and Thursday reach into the 70s for most of the area.
Keep in mind - this is exactly the weather you want to get the leaves to start changing colors!
Send your pictures of the changing leaves to Pin It.
Come Friday, we’ll track a strong cold front that will move through heading into the evening.
This will cool things off a bit for high school football action that evening. It’ll also be breezy at times.
That said, the chance for frost Saturday morning is fairly low. The wind will be mixing the air around enough to prevent that from developing.
As the wind calms Sunday and Monday mornings, however, temperatures dip into the 30s.
This leads to frost and perhaps some freezing temperatures in the New River Valley and Highlands.
Keep checking back for updates on our weather app.
Afternoon highs this weekend will range from the 50s in the mountains to 60s down lower. Contrary to last weekend, we’ll see plenty of sunshine this time around.
