ROANOKE, Va. – If you are planning on being outside on Monday, you will want the big coat early on. Thanks to plenty of sun and a shift in our winds, our temperatures get into the 40s Monday afternoon!
Each zone will feature near-average temperatures Monday, which is certainly appreciated after the weekend’s brutal cold.

If you like warmer weather, I have great news for you. Our temperatures over the next seven days are going to be warmer than average. The warmest temperatures come later in the week, with most spots seeing close to 60 degrees.
This week is bringing in warmer air from the south. This is also bringing in moisture from the Gulf of Mexico and will develop into rain showers in the middle of the week. We could start to see some showers as early as Tuesday evening/night.
While we will be dealing with warmer temperatures this week, it does not mean that winter is over by any means. In fact, we are only about halfway done with winter, and on average, nearly 32% of our annual snowfall comes in February.
Also, some computer models are picking up on a possible Arctic blast to close out the month. This is still quite some time away, so things are likely to change, but for those of us who love winter and the cold, there is hope!
Here is a look at your extended forecast—lots of warmth, cloud cover and rain showers this week.
