ROANOKE, Va. – Happy Friday!
We start the day frosty with temperatures in the 20s before highs reach seasonable levels by the afternoon.
It’s beginning to look and feel a lot like Christmas! The weather cooperates for the many parades going on Friday evening, though it will be cold.
Temperatures actually rise overnight into Saturday morning ahead of a cold front. This front produces a round of light to moderate rain in the morning.
By the afternoon, most rain is out of here. However, we can’t rule out a quick band moving over the mountains (similar to this past Wednesday).
Wind gusts of 20 to 30 mph will happen in areas along and west of the Parkway Saturday afternoon. We’ll be mild, though, only to cool back down to reality Sunday afternoon.
Looking ahead to next week, another front will send showers in our direction Tuesday. This front will then stall, while cold air bottles up north.
Where exactly this stall happens will determine our daily rain chances, so stay tuned for updates.
If there’s any potential for something more than rain (ie. wintry weather), it wouldn’t be until the 9th or 10th of month. That’s purely speculation based on the appearance of our upcoming pattern.
