Summerlike weather is on the way
Posted Jun03, 2008 at 12:30 AM
Roanoke could well see its first 90-degree temperature by
Thursday, and it looks like a general pattern of summerlike weather is about to settle in for much of the next week or two. Today, there will be a thunderstorm threat, as a front dangles through the area, but that front will lift northward on Wednesday and Thursday. Much of the jet stream energy will also move northward, deflecting larger storm systems to our north across the Ohio Valley and the Northeast. High pressure will build in, bringing hot, more stagnant weather into the area. There will be those occasional afternoon summer thunderstorms, especially in the mountains, but no organized rain or storms later this week. As you can tell from the linked
temperature and
precipitation maps from the
Hydrometeorlogical Prediction Center, the general hot, dry pattern with only spotty showers and thunderstorms is expected to continue through much of the next 10 days, though don't be surprised if it gets broken up a day or two by a passing front.
