Rain showers and cloud cover
ROANOKE, Va. – A frontal boundary moving from the west to the east is expected to bring more showers our way tonight.
These showers will be scattered in nature, with 40% chance of rain through the night. As you wake up on Tuesday, you may find some lingering cloud cover, possibly accompanied by patchy drizzle and fog. But don’t worry, as the day progresses, the clouds are anticipated to break up, allowing for more sunshine. Although a stray shower cannot be ruled out south on Tuesday afternoon, the vast majority of us will be dry.
Temperature fluctuations
Tuesday brings a welcome warm-up, with many areas reaching the 60s! Temperatures will be about 12-18 degrees above average. If you like the warmth, take advantage of Tuesday and Wednesday.
However, don’t pack away those sweaters just yet. Colder temperatures will arrive late this week, with the weekend bringing highs only in the 30s, thanks to an Arctic blast arriving from the north.
Mid-week weather changes
Come Wednesday, there’s a chance for a few showers in the morning. However, the best chance for rain will come later in the day into Wednesday night. So, your umbrella will again be necessary on Hump Day. By Thursday and Friday, a high-pressure system is expected to move back in, leading to drier weather and more sunshine sunshine.
Conclusion
Overall, this week in Southwest and Central Virginia looks to feature a mix of weather patterns—from rain showers and sunshine to rising and falling temperatures. Stay tuned to Your Local Weather Authority for any weather updates.
