ROANOKE, Va. (WFXR) — Tonight won't be as chilly with lows in the low-to-mid 50s under mostly cloudy skies. Widely scattered showers will be possible areawide throughout the overnight hours into the morning; although, any rain will likely be light.
Over Memorial Day tomorrow, mostly cloudy skies will be present with cool conditions and high temperatures ranging from the low to upper 60s. In terms of rain, we have trended drier with a slight chance for showers over the first half of the day mainly along and south of US-460. While spotty showers cannot be ruled out, most of the area should remain on the dry side through the afternoon into the evening.
A low-pressure system developing off to our west will move into the region bringing widespread rain showers beginning Tuesday into Wednesday. Heavy rain at times may be possible, especially Tuesday night. Rain coverage becomes more scattered late Wednesday.
Surface high pressure off to the northeast will begin to wedge a cool and cloudy airmass into southwest Virginia late Monday through Tuesday. This means that in addition to the rain on Tuesday, it will remain cool with high temperatures only reaching the mid 50s to mid 60s.
Over the back half of the week, isolated showers and storms will remain possible during the afternoons with temperatures warming back up into the 70s.
