Pinpoint Weather: Freezing rain and rain Wednesday
ROANOKE, Va. (WFXR) — A winter storm will continue to bring freezing rain and rain to Southwest and Central Virginia on Wednesday.

Shift in the Jet Stream
After waves of severe storms and heavy rainfall this month, the Jet Stream is shifting after the latest rounds of storms moved out of our State last night. Going forward, at least for now, the Jet Stream is de-energized some. A 'weakness' in the flow, kind of an 'echo' of storms Monday and Tuesday of this week in Texas will move up over our State Wednesday and Thursday. There is a chance of rain and a few storms but rainfall totals will not be nearly as heavy. Mike June 9th, 2025 Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
