A cold, rainy day ahead

Don't be surprised to see a few pellets of sleet or some brief icing of cold metal objects this morning in localized areas as moisture moves in on top of cold surface temperatures. But the same winds bringing in the moisture from the Gulf of Mexico will also bring in warmer temperatures, and so today and tonight will see a lot of cold, but above-freezing, rain. A cold front moving through tonight will swing winds to the northwest and trigger familiar snow showers over the mountains of West Virginia and western Virginia, a few of which may spill over into the New River and Roanoke valleys.

  2. If we have mild temperatures in December or the first part of January, then we will repeat next year with the same stronger(severe) type thunderstorms with winds up to 60+mph starting in Roanoke in the first week of June! This recent decade our weather pattern(climate) has change.

  3. Nothing but rain at my place.

    We need it. But it sure is gloomy.
