Yes, the hot weather will returnPosted Jun20, 2008 at 02:42 PMThe relatively cool air mass that has settled over us the past few days is slowly moderating. We will probably see highs more in the low to even mid 80s in Roanoke over the weekend into early next week rather than in the 70s. So, with lows around 60, temperatures will be just about where they should be this time of year, maybe a hint cooler. The slightly cooler air will get a little bit of a reinforcement over the weekend, and that could be enough to trigger some thunderstorms as it clashes with somewhat warmer, more humid air over us. (By the way ... Rick Post of Wytheville pointed me to some automated thermometer readings between Rural Retreat and Wytheville in the low 40s each of the last three mornings ... now that's chilly for June!)
