Slightly warmer, more humid Wednesday before rain returns Thursday

ROANOKE, Va. – As of Wednesday, southwest and central Virginia will be in between storm systems. This means we’re drier, though we’ll turn slightly warmer.

Expect pleasant weather at the bus stop for the several districts going back to school.
