Ahhh! Lower humidity leads to more pleasant weather through mid-week

Humidity levels and storm chances creep up heading into the upcoming weekend

ROANOKE, Va. – Following Tuesday’s isolated storms, we’re left with a more refreshing feel to the air Wednesday and Thursday. While you may need a light coat, zip-up, hoodie, etc. in the morning, you won’t by the afternoon.

Highs Wednesday reach the 70s before dropping into the 40s and 50s overnight.

Thursday will be even warmer. That said, humidity levels start to head in the opposite direction later in the week and into the holiday weekend.

During that time, we’re caught in the crosshairs between high pressure (happy weather) and low pressure (lousy weather). This makes us vulnerable to showers and thunderstorms. That will especially be the case Saturday.
