Weather Update: Isolated Showers Possible Ahead of a Front
Cloudy skies are expected to continue this morning as our region awaits the approach of two weather systems. There is a possibility of a few isolated showers until midday as a cold front moves through. According to WDBJ Weather, these showers could occur this morning.
The front will result in a significant change in weather conditions. Temperatures are expected to warm up to the 60s and 70s, with mostly sunny skies prevailing this afternoon. Winds are also expected to increase, with gusts ranging from 25 to 35 mph, and there is a possibility of even higher gusts in some areas.
On Tuesday, cooler air is expected to move in, and there may be a mix of sun and clouds with highs in the 50s and 60s. Shower chances will return later in the evening and overnight hours. A wintry mix cannot be ruled out across the higher elevations Tuesday night.
Expect mostly sunny skies and highs in the 50s and 60s on Wednesday, with a possibility of some moisture lingering into early Wednesday morning. Highs on Thursday are expected to warm up to the 60s in the afternoon under a mostly sunny sky.
High pressure will shift east on Friday, resulting in soaring temperatures in the 70s for Friday and Saturday. There is also a likelihood of rain during this period. Cooler and drier conditions are anticipated to return for Sunday.
Apart from the weather, stargazers should look out for an exciting night sky viewing on Tuesday night after sunset. Mars, Uranus, Venus, Mercury, and Jupiter will be visible in our solar system at the same time, according to WDBJ7. There is also a new episode out for Slight Chance of Science, featuring a psychiatrist and a representative from the Roanoke Valley SPCA on the impacts of Seasonal Affective Disorder on humans and pets.
