Band of rain crawls up I-81 into Roanoke Valley

National Weather Service radar has been showing a band of moderate to locally heavy rain building northeastward along the Interstate 81 corridor through the New River and Roanoke valleys ... here is the radar near 4:40 p.m. .... Click here for the latest look at radar

Also ... click here to see the National Weather Service-Blacksburg map of projected rainfall totals. This map shows the lessened expectations of rainfall I wrote about a little earlier, with generally 1/2 to 1 inch amounts across the area, except over 1 inch in a zone along the eastern side of the Blue Ridge where upslope effects will be the greatest.
