Skies clear as temperatures warm

Rain totals are starting to add up across the region

ROANOKE, Va. – The trend of warmer temperatures is continuing into the month of February. However, a brief break will occur this week.

This Morning

Mostly cloudy skies are overhead Monday morning, with temperatures warming hour by hour. So, your dog walking forecast is all good to go!

Today's High Temps

Skies begin to clear later Monday morning and eventually become mostly clear. Thanks to lots of sunshine and winds out of the south at the surface our temperatures return to the 60s in the afternoon.

This Week

Wednesday will be the coolest day this week as temperatures only get into the upper 40s and lower 50s. The reason? Cloud cover and rain!

Wednesday Evening

Mostly cloudy skies move in Wednesday before rain showers start in the early evening. Isolated showers will continue into parts of Thursday.

Orientation

The jet stream having little variability or movement in the north-to-south direction is why we have been so warm lately. This pattern looks to break down toward the middle of the month.

Mid February

The Climate Prediction Center indicates colder air moving across the country later next week.
