ROANOKE, Va. – Fall is finally here as temperatures are rounding off near 70 degrees across Southwest and Central Virginia Tuesday afternoon.
Along with cooler temperatures, we will see dry air all day long. Comfortable air is here to stay too!
Why are we cool and dry? Well, an area of low pressure to our north is funneling in air from Canada this week. So, we will stay mostly clear and sunny with near or below-average temperatures.
By Friday morning, we could see some patchy frost along some of our yards.
Switching gears to Hurricane Milton. Much of Florida is expected to see tropical storm force winds (40mph+) with areas highlighted in red having the risk of Hurricane-force winds (75mph+).
Storm surge could exceed 12 feet in some areas along the west coast of Florida. If you have family or friends local to the west coast of Florida who are in an evacuation zone, I urge them to evacuate.
Along with storm surge and major hurricane force winds (111mph+), there is the potential for widespread flooding. Rain totals could be up to and near a foot in some localized areas. They have also seen a ton of rain prior to this storm.
