Another stab at a record
Posted May30, 2006 at 09:40 AM
Sitting another day under this dome of warm, dry air aloft, temperatures will make another run at record highs today. It will be a bit more difficult today, though, as the records for May 30 are a little bit higher than those of May 29 ... 93 in Roanoke dating to 1969, 87 in Blacksburg dating to 1953. But it will be a close call under hazy, mid-summer-like sunshine.
After today, the warm air aloft will erode some and more moisture will creep in. We'll likely see more afternoon clouds and even some showers and thunderstorms, so we'll be less likely to have record heat in upcoming days. Still, a summerlike regime will hold our weather pattern for much of this week.
