One more day of searing early June heatPosted Jun09, 2008 at 10:00 AMToday will probably be the last day of extreme heat. It will still be pretty hot and sticky on Tuesday, and then a little less so on Wednesday, and back to near normal by the end of the week. Roanoke's June 9 record high of 98 set in 1933 will probably be safe today as highs likely reach the mid 90s. Blacksburg, going for a sixth day of record heat, might challenge the 92 set on this date in 1933. With only 2 degrees difference in high temperatures on Sunday, it doesn't seem those extra 1,500 feet in elevation over Roanoke are helping Blacksburg stay much cooler. In case you didn't see it in the paper this morning, here is the list of record temperatures set since Wednesday in both Roanoke and Blacksburg. |
