Roanoke will have to drop fast to get to 32Posted Apr15, 2008 at 10:12 PMRoanoke is still sitting at 52 degrees at 10 p.m. The dew point is low, 18 degrees, so there is plenty of room for the temperature to fall. It will have to do so hurriedly in the after-midnight hours to get us to freezing. It can do it, but I would not be surprised if the urban areas of Roanoke escape with temperatures just above freezing. Still, a close enough call to get in some sensitive plants. We'll see how it pans out. Most outlying areas will drop below freezing by Wednesday morning, the second in a row for many locations. A freeze warning is in effect for most counties from Roanoke south and east. The counties north and west of Roanoke will get to freezing, too, but their growing season is not far enough long to warrant a freeze warning, according to the National Weather Service.
