ROANOKE, Va. – Monday’s weather is essentially a repeat of Sunday’s, which was absolutely gorgeous.
Expect sunshine, a calm breeze and a change from a frosty morning to a spring-like afternoon.
At night, the wind picks up a bit ahead of a weak front. That will keep temperatures from falling.

Tuesday and Wednesday won’t be quite as warm, but they will be windier at times. This is thanks to pressure differences between Canada and the Atlantic Ocean.

Gusts of 25 to 35 mph will be pretty common come Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons.

Wednesday and Thursday mornings will be colder, resulting in the chance for either freezing temperatures or frost.
That’s especially the case Thursday morning as the wind calms down a bit.

We’ll track another storm system Friday that will mostly bring rain to the area. There’s a small portion of colder air that could result in a mix of sleet and snow in higher elevations north of US 460.

Outside of that, this storm has more significance. It kicks off a pattern change that results in colder-than-average weather through the middle of the month.

This is especially concerning, because a lot of trees have begun blooming weeks ahead of schedule.
