80s make an extended run starting Friday
Don't let the chilly start to Friday fool you. Friday will likely be the start of at least 5 straight days of 80-degree-plus weather in Roanoke. We haven't had as many as four straight days in the 80s since Oct. 13 to 16 of last year, and haven't had as many as five since there were 11days at or above 80 from Aug. 29 to Sept. 7. I would place our chances at scraping 90 one day in this warm stretch at about 1 in 4. Normal highs this time of year are low 70s in Roanoke and mid 60s in Blacksburg, so we could be topping those by 15 degrees or more. With Blacksburg exactly at normal and Roanoke a little more than a degree below normal through the first three weeks of April, this little hot spell will likely make April an above-normal temperature month overall, though much of it was rather cool and damp.
