ROANOKE, Va. – It’s another freezing start to Friday morning, so make sure you’ve got layers!
You may also need to budget an extra minute or two to get some frost of the windshield.
By the afternoon, that’s a non-issue. We’ll be milder Friday than we were Thursday, as highs reach closer to average levels for early November.
It’s another very dry day, which means you may need the lotion, lip balm, etc.
That dry air leads to a rapid drop in temperatures during the evening, so we’ll once again need to consider a jacket for Friday evening’s high school football action.
Saturday starts frosty, but the weekend forecast is looking up. Afternoon highs each day reach about 65 to 71°.
If you have any leaves in the yard to take care of, this is the time to do it!
We’ll stay mild heading into next week.
Morning lows start in the 40s, and afternoon highs reach the 60s and 70s. Widespread rain is hard to find, though we may tap into some shower potential Thursday.
We need the rain. In the Roanoke Valley, October was the driest since 2000. The year as a whole has been the driest since 2007.
