The heat and the humidity start to build

Wednesday's high in Roanoke reached 90, the first 90-degree high in nine days, and it'll probably be similarly hot today. Humidity is also building, with the dew point getting close to 60 again. The combination of heat and humidity will start to trigger a few afternoon thundrestorms today and Friday. The bigger threat of storms will occur over the weekend as a cold front approaches. The Storm Prediction Center has placed our area in a slight risk of severe weather for Saturday.
