ROANOKE, Va. – Tuesday starts out seasonably cold with most areas in the 20s and lower 30s early on. High-level clouds drift into the area at times during the day, though there’s enough dry air to limit any precipitation from developing.

High temperatures Tuesday afternoon will be close to average levels.
