Weather Journal

with Kevin Myatt

Same hot song, 53rd verse

It was yet another 90-degree day in Roanoke with a record-tying high of 91. That makes 53 days this year at or above 90, and 10 days this month, just one short of the September record. Thursday will have some chance to hit that mark even though it's expected to be just a few degrees cooler.

Blacksburg nearly hit 90. Its high of 89 topped the old record for Sept. 26, 86, set in 1970.

A cold front will bring somewhat cooler weather for the weekend.
