Thursday starts gradual climb out of March-like weather

Winds subside, temperatures and rain chances rise in the coming days

ROANOKE, Va. – May has started out with more of a March-like feel to it. I mean, check this out. Snow has been piling up on our west-facing slopes in the past 2-3 days. Wild!

Thursday and Friday will see temperatures rise from the 30s and 40s in the morning to 60s and even some 70s by the afternoon.

High temperature forecast for Thursday and Friday afternoons

Clouds increase Friday with a few late evening showers possible west of Interstate 77.

It wouldn’t be a weekend without at least some chance of rain. A warm front nearby will be the catalyst for more showers at times during the day Saturday.
