ROANOKE, Va. – More humid air has returned, following a multi-day stretch of comfortable weather.
This, along with a front nearby, will trigger scattered afternoon and evening showers Monday. The threat for damaging weather is low.
This same, humid airmass will be present Tuesday. A southeasterly breeze will force the air up the mountains, resulting in isolated afternoon storms. Some of these may blossom into about a 50% coverage by suppertime to sunset.
Energy ahead of a front will likely trigger some scattered, early morning showers Wednesday. Recent forecast data suggests that we’ll have ample time to warm up to about 78 to 84° ahead of more numerous storms late in the day into the evening.
This front passes Thursday morning, leaving us with a gusty wind at times. This gusty wind continues into the weekend, as low pressure lingers to the north. Some showers may develop near the mountains, but coverage looks to be about 20%.
We’ll stay warm each day, with humidity levels dropping Friday through Sunday.
