ROANOKE, Va. – Another day with cool temperatures along the East Coast!
Temperatures peak Thursday afternoon between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. Notice, our average high for this time of year is 70 degrees! We are still below that and are continuing to get a preview of late Fall and early Winter.
Cooler temperatures will be spread across the New River Valley and parts of the Highlands. Everywhere else will get into the lower 60s!
Breezy winds will make it feel cooler than it actually is. Yes, we will see winds between 10-15mph all day long... again.
As we look ahead, the really cold air mass that has brought significantly cool temperatures to the region moves out east. Then, warmer air starts to build in this weekend.
Parts of the West Coast will be dealing with the potential for mixed precipitation. Freezing rain, sleet, snow and rain will be possibly along the Rockies on Thursday and Friday.
Eventually, the area of cold air bringing those conditions to the Rockies is cut off from main circulation and wanders around for a few days. Meanwhile, the rest of the country will be experiencing near or above-average temperatures.
Warmer temperatures build in for the weekend and stick around for next week too.
The Climate Prediction Center also indicates the majority of the region will see above-average temperatures for the next 7 to 10 days.
