Pinpoint Weather: Slightly warmer and drier by mid-week
ROANOKE, Va. (WFXR) — Widely scattered showers and storms will continue this evening before activity winds down past sunset. A few storms may be on the strong to severe side as a Severe Thunderstorm Watch remains in effect until 10 P.M. for central and southside Virginia. Damaging wind gusts are the main threat; however, large hail and an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out. A Tornado Watch is also in effect to the northeast that includes Nelson county.
Clouds will also clear out a bit into tomorrow morning with overnight low temperatures still warm and humid in the mid 60s. Some patchy fog may be possible overnight as well.
Tomorrow, we will be in between two fronts with partly cloudy to mostly sunny skies for the day with temperatures remaining warm in the 80s.
In the late afternoon to evening hours, it is possible that we may see a few isolated showers or storms, but most of the area will stay dry. Ahead of the next cold front that will pass through, scattered showers and a few storms will be possible Monday night into early Tuesday morning.
A Marginal Risk (1/5) for severe weather is outlined over the region in case an isolated storm or two becomes strong to severe. Damaging wind gusts would be the main threat.
As the front passes through, any rain or storms will push east with it into Tuesday as we begin to dry out. High pressure will move in for Wednesday and Thursday with mostly sunny skies and dry weather.
Temperatures will warm up into the mid-to-upper 80s near 90 degrees by Friday. The chance for rain and storms returns Friday afternoon into next weekend.

Heat builds across Maryland this week
A few isolated storms could develop across western Maryland this evening, with a low chance that one or two could drift as far east as the I-95 corridor. Any storm that does form may be capable of producing damaging winds and small hail. Temperatures topped out in the upper 70s to low 80s Monday afternoon. Tonight, skies will gradually clear behind any passing storms, with overnight lows settling around 70 degrees. A cold front approaches the region Tuesday morning and will pass through during the late morning to early afternoon hours. While most of the area will remain dry, far southern Maryland could see a brief shower or thunderstorm during the afternoon. Tuesday's high temperatures will reach the low to mid 80s before cooler and slightly less humid air filters in Tuesday night. Overnight lows will dip into the mid 60s. By midweek, summerlike heat begins to build. Highs Wednesday will climb into the upper 80s. On Thursday, Baltimore could see its first 90-degree day of the year as temperatures peak near the 90-degree mark under mostly sunny skies. The heat continues into Friday, with highs again reaching the upper 80s to near 90. Humidity will also increase, and a few storms could pop up late in the day. A stronger cold front arrives this weekend, bringing more widespread storm chances. Saturday afternoon looks particularly unsettled, with a high likelihood of thunderstorms. Rain and storm chances linger into Father's Day on Sunday, with cooler highs in the 70s. The unsettled pattern is expected to continue into Monday and Tuesday next week, with isolated showers and storms and highs holding in the 70s.

Fans excited as U.S. Open practice rounds get underway at Oakmont Country Club
Practice rounds for the 2025 U.S. Open began Monday morning at Oakmont Country Club. Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to watch the tournament this week. As the sun rose on this practice round opening day, spectators were certainly ready to catch a glimpse of some of golf's best players. "Wanted to get up early and be the first ones here," Lucas Beaver of Ross Township said. Beaver and Brenton Perkins are pumped for Monday's practice round. "I'm excited to watch great golf, to be around greatness in a sense," Perkins said. Judging by the cars and the clickers, they're not the only ones excited. KDKA-TV caught people from western Pennsylvania, Erie, and even Alberta, Canada. "Just wanted to see all the players, see the course," Lindsay Glisan of Franklin Park said. "Come out [and] hopefully enjoy a beautiful day." The weather held up on Monday morning, but the road to seeing the green didn't come without a little brown, with lots of mud from Sunday's downpours. "I'm annoyed with it; my shoes are already too dirty," one spectator told KDKA-TV. None of that is putting a damper on these people, though. "We've been waiting for this to come here for a couple of years," Glisan said. Now that it's here, people are excited to see their favorite players, from Scottie Scheffler to Colin Morikawa and Jason Day. For many, it's just special to see these guys in our backyard on a course with so much history. "So many greats have walked there. Ben Hogans, your Arnold Palmers, your Jack Nicklaus'," Perkins said. Now, they'll watch the current generation hit the links at Oakmont Country Club. "To be able to be that close to see what they're doing, and to experience that level of focus, it can be really inspiring," Perkins said. Monday through Wednesday are the practice rounds. Championship rounds are Thursday through Sunday.

Even some of the high terrain of Northern California will experience the heat.
