ROANOKE, Va. (WFXR) — A low-pressure system over the Southern U.S. will slowly work its way northward bringing increased moisture and decent rainfall. Scattered rain will begin to move in overnight becoming more widespread throughout the day tomorrow. With cloudy and rainy conditions, temperatures will stay cool for the day as highs only reach the low-to-mid 60s.
With rounds of persistent rain, some heavy at times, flooding concerns will be present along and south of the Blue Ridge where a Flood Watch will be in effect from 2 am Monday morning through 2 pm Tuesday afternoon.
A Slight Risk (2/4) for excessive rainfall is placed over the entire region tomorrow and portions of the area Tuesday. Rainfall totals through Tuesday evening will be around 2-4″ with localized 5-6″ possible along the Blue Ridge into the Eastern Foothills. The flooding threat will likely be highest Monday night into Tuesday morning.
As the low moves northward just off to the west, numerous rain showers and storms continue over the region into Monday night through the day Tuesday, although rain coverage will likely be more scattered at any given time during the afternoon and evening.
As the frontal system pushes through, scattered showers and storms will redevelop Wednesday afternoon with daytime heating as we warm into the low-to-mid 70s.
Towards the end of the week, temperatures warm up above average with highs climbing into the 80s along with the chance for a few showers or storms possible in the afternoons.
