Pinpoint Weather: Mostly cloudy Mother's Day before widespread rain next week
ROANOKE, Va. (WFXR) — Mostly cloudy conditions will persist into tonight with low temperatures on the cool side in the mid-to-upper 40s for most. Looking at Mother's Day tomorrow, skies remain mostly cloudy with afternoon temperatures generally ranging in the upper 60s to mid 70s. As moisture creeps up from the south, a few spotty light showers may be possible, mainly over southern counties close to the VA/NC border.
A low-pressure system over the Southern U.S. slowly works its way northward and with it, moisture increases dramatically into our region. Scattered rain will begin to move in Sunday night into Monday morning becoming more widespread throughout the day. Monday will be cloudy and cool as well with highs only reaching the low-to-mid 60s.
As the low moves northward just off to the west, more widespread rain and storms continue over the region into Monday night through Tuesday.
With prolonged rain, some high rainfall totals will be possible, especially under any rain intense storms that form. The entire area is outlined under a Slight Risk (2/4) for flash flooding on Monday with portions under the level 2 risk again for Tuesday. Around 2-3 inches of rain will be possible through Tuesday evening, with the greatest potential for flash flooding along the eastern slopes of the Blue Ridge where localized 4+ inches could be possible.
As the frontal system pushes through, scattered storms will redevelop Wednesday afternoon with daytime heating.
Towards the end of the week, temperatures warm up with highs climbing into the 80s along with the chance for pop-up storms possible in the afternoons.

Sports play through another dangerously hot day in parts of the US
CHICAGO (AP) — The shade — under the roof and the upper deck, in every dugout and tunnel — was a popular place at Wrigley Field on Sunday. The sunny seats, not so much. Several major league teams played through a second straight day of muggy conditions as dangerously hot temperatures dominated parts of the United States during a rare June heat wave. The PGA Tour was in a sweltering Connecticut for the Travelers Championship, and the LPGA played the KPMG Women's PGA Championship in the heat of Texas. The gametime temperature was 92 degrees for the series finale between the Mariners and Cubs in Chicago. Kids played in the fountains outside Wrigley before going into the ballpark, and the Cubs encouraged fans to take precautions in a message on the videoboard in left field. 'We don't have any secrets,' Cubs manager Craig Counsell said of playing in the heat. 'You know, we'll do the best we can. ... I think it's the catcher you worry about the most, and the pitcher. They get some time in the shade. They get some downtime between innings. People like the umpires, some of the people working, some of the fans, that's kind of who you worry about even more, actually.' Seattle reliever Trent Thornton and umpire Chad Whitson both left Saturday's game with heat-related issues. Whitson was at third base on Sunday, and Mariners manager Dan Wilson said Thornton was doing well. '(Thornton) was doing much better after the game yesterday and got some fluids in him and a cold bath and was doing much better almost immediately,' Wilson said. 'And then, you know, feels really good today again. So thankful for that and glad to see he's doing well today.' Reds manager Terry Francona said Elly De La Cruz was fine a day after the shortstop threw up during their extra-inning loss at St. Louis. Wilson, 56, a former big league catcher, said there isn't much he can do as manager to help his players with the heat. 'We're all pretty used to playing in hot days,' he said. 'Especially in the minor leagues, you play in a lot of hot places. But, you know, this is a little different. This has been pretty exceptional.' At the LPGA tournament in Frisco, Texas, the forecast called for temperatures in the mid-90s — pretty typical for the area this time of year. The windy conditions were more of an issue for the players. There were several cooling areas around the course for fans, along with spots with free bottled water. ___ AP Sports Writer Stephen Hawkins in Texas and AP freelance reporter Jeff Latzke in Missouri contributed. ___ AP sports:

Extreme heat warning takes effect in NYC, 100-degree temps expected
An extreme heat warning is now in effect in New York City, with temperatures expected to top 100 degrees in the days ahead. The National Weather Service has called an extreme heat warning across the five boroughs, starting early Sunday — just two days after the first day of summer — and lasting until at least 8 p.m. Tuesday. The forecast predicts 'dangerously hot conditions with heat index values up to 107 expected,' with the worst of the heat hitting in the afternoon Monday and Tuesday. Central Park last had a 100-degree day on July 18, 2012, and hasn't seen a triple-digit temperature in June since 1952. 'Extreme heat and humidity will significantly increase the potential for heat related illnesses, particularly for those working or participating in outdoor activities,' the warning reads. The heat wave can be blamed on 'a strong bubble of high pressure,' or a 'heat dome,' expected to envelop much of the eastern U.S., according to the Weather Channel. That bubble prevents clouds from forming, meaning no rain, intense sunshine and wretched humidity. The city is making cooling centers available and their locations — along with tips to handle the heat — can be found at The city Parks Department's 'Cool It! NYC' web page also offers a map of swimming pools, spray showers, drinking fountains and shady spots. _____
