Weather Journal

with Kevin Myatt

It did it again -- 100 degrees

Roanoke's high temperature hit 100 degrees today, smashing the record for the date of 95 set in 1993. It was also the fourth day this month that temperatures hit at least 100 degrees.

Blacksburg also set a record with a high of 93, breaking the record of 90, also from 1993.

I believe this is the last day it will get to 100 in Roanoke this year, as the weather pattern begins to change in the next few days, gradually at first and then more dramatically after that.

Thunderstorms are popping up this afternoon, some severe. Hail fell for 10 minutes northwest of Lewisburg, W.Va. earlier this afternoon.
