A frosty night?Posted Sep20, 2006 at 05:07 PMThe word "frost" is in some forecasts for the first time tonight (click here for a special weather statement on the threat of frost)... mostly in the deeper mountain valleys to the west of the Roanoke, in the New River Valley and points north and west of there. Lows in those areas could dip as low as the mid 30s, which would allow some frost to form in grassy areas. As for record cold, tonight will not be that. The record low for the date in Roanke is 36, set in 1956; in Blacksburg, it's 30, set in 1962. Neither of those marks is likely to be challenged. |
