ROANOKE, Va. – The wind is a non-issue for us Thursday, as high pressure regains control of our weather. Calm wind and more sunshine will continue through Friday too.
As the breeze increases out of the southwest Friday and Saturday, we’ll see temperatures rise a bit more each afternoon.
Highs will be in the 60s prior to a strong storm system that arrives Sunday.
This starts with areas of light rain Sunday morning.
We’ll turn gusty at times with pockets of heavy rain continuing Sunday afternoon. While a couple storms may happen east of the Roanoke Valley, it’s expected that the severe weather threat will be low.
Once our cold front moves to the east, temperatures will crash late Sunday into early Monday. A brief period of snow will be possible west of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Most accumulation would happen on the west-facing slopes again.
Outside of that, we’ll stay windy at times through Monday.
The wind calms, and seasonably chilly weather resume through the middle of next week.
