Pinpoint Weather: Warm Wednesday, showers possible Thursday
ROANOKE, Va. (WFXR) — High pressure will keep Southwest and Central Virginia dry on Wednesday. Daily rain chances are expected through the beginning of next week. Wednesday will start mostly clear and cool with morning temperatures in the 50s. Cloud cover will gradually increase during the afternoon hours. It will still be warm for the day with highs in the upper 70s and 80s. Some haziness is anticipated as smoke from Canadian wildfires drifts southward. However, the smoke is not expected to make a large impact on air quality in Southwest and Central Virginia. A Moderate air quality index is in place for the area. If you are unusually sensitive to smoke and air pollution, consider reducing your activity level or shortening the amount of time you are active outside. In the tropics, an area of low pressure will develop around the coastal Southeastern U.S. over the next few days before moving off toward the northeast. If the system remains offshore, it may gain some tropical characteristics. However, any potential system would likely be weak and short-lived. If this low-pressure system treks further inland, it may increase rain chances on Thursday. Southwest and Central Virginia can expect widely-scattered rain showers and variably cloudy skies. Rumbles of thunder are possible, but severe weather is not anticipated. Highs will be in the upper 70s and lower 80s. However, more cloud cover could result in cooler conditions. A frontal system will approach the region toward the end of the week. Isolated showers and storms are possible Friday afternoon, with the best chance along and west of the Blue Ridge. Rain coverage will increase on Saturday as the front draws closer; scattered showers and storms will be possible area-wide. A few storms may pack a punch, potentially becoming strong to severe. A few showers may linger into Sunday. Otherwise, the warm weather pattern will continue. For the weekend, highs will be in the upper 70s and 80s under a mix of sun and clouds.
