100 today? Probably notPosted Jul18, 2006 at 11:32 AMWith it just 84 degrees at 11 a.m. in Roanoke, while much of the rest of Virginia and North Carolina is already around 90, I'm doubting that it will hit 100 degrees today. The mid 90s, probably; the upper 90s, around 97 or 98, possibly. You can usually subtract about 5 degrees for the high in Blacksburg. The Martinsville area might flirt with 100. With dewpoints in the mid to upper 60s, heat index values will be around 100 today ... so it's still wise to drink lots of fluids and avoid working outside at the hottest part of the day if you can.
