Weather Journal

with Kevin Myatt

It's not been this cool since ...

Roanoke's high of 72 today was the coolest high we've had since June 15, when on a foggy, dank day it only made 64.

The three days of lows in the 50s -- 59 on Saturday, 58 on Sunday, 59 on Monday -- was the first time we had three consecutive days below 60 degrees since May 17-21, when we had four consecutive days with lows 50, 50, 45 and 59.

Going into Tuesday, the month was exactly on its average temperature through the first 23 days of the month, at 76.0 degrees. It appears that we are likely to end the month very near normal in temperature, if not a tad below normal.

We only got 0.16 inch of rain through 5 p.m. in Roanoke, with some more showers occurring this evening. We could use more, but places to our west that are even more dry than us did get more, some more than an inch.
