ROANOKE, Va. – Thursday is once again a day to start with the jackets. Heading into the afternoon, temperatures rise into the 60s and lower 70s, which should feel nice and comfortable with a little breeze at times.
This comes ahead of a strong cold front that we’ve been tracking for days now.
The front starts out by bringing rain to southwest and central Virginia through the early-to-mid afternoon hours Friday.
It looks as though any showers for high school football games Friday will be isolated.
