ROANOKE, Va. – A front passed through the area Tuesday, resulting in few showers and storms locally. The bigger change is felt first thing in the morning.
Humidity levels are much lower Wednesday than they’ve been in recent days. This will lead to a comfortably warm day with highs in the 70s and 80s. We’ll climb a little higher Thursday.
This comes ahead of another drop in humidity that will add to the comfort factor Friday and Saturday.
Each morning will start out in the 50s and lower 60s, but the afternoons will be pleasant in the 80s.
Sunday is when things start turning quite hot. A strong area of high pressure will reside over the Upper Midwest. Sinking air associated with high pressure will push temperatures into the 80s and 90s.
The 90° heat starts Sunday outside of the mountains, but it will likely expand heading into Monday of next week.
At the moment, we don’t expect stifling humidity. This means storm chances will stay very low for the time being.
