ROANOKE, Va. – Your weekend forecast will bring temperatures in the mid-upper 40s on Saturday and near 50° on Sunday.
Today’s planner shows mostly cloudy skies this morning giving way to partly cloudy skies by the time the sun comes up. Mostly clear skies build in around lunch hour, and temperatures will still remain in the 40s. It will certainly be chilly out there today!
All five of our zones stay in 40s today. Lynchburg and Southside will get up to the upper 40s, everyone else stays a little cooler.

It is the last weekend for regular season college football until conference championships and bowl games. A big game is taking place in Charlottesville this afternoon. UVA and VT will battle it out for bragging rights. JMU takes on Coastal Carolina too.
Kick-off conditions are cool and sunny for both games, and it will stay that way for the first half. Once the sun sets, it turns even cooler.
Temperatures tonight will be pretty cold. A lot of us get well into the 20s. A little bit of cloud cover builds in by midnight and we wake up tomorrow morning with mostly to partly cloudy conditions.
Later this weekend our next cold front moves in from the west and will bring a chance of seeing rain. We will only see light showers this time around, and not the heavy rainfall we saw earlier in the week. We are still in a drought, so anything helps!
Here is the latest look at the drought monitor. Severe drought has spread across most of southwest and central Virginia. Along with this, there are still burn bans in effect.
The next week or so will feature below average temperatures as daytime highs get near 50° or so, and overnight lows get into the 20s some nights!
