High pressure wedges into the area for the weekend, keeping highs 5-10+ degrees below average, in the low 70s to low 80s both days. Lows will be in the 50s to low 60s. Afternoon rain chances remain west of I-77 both days this weekend, thanks to easterly upslope flow. #RNKwx

What a difference in temperatures today. Front has pushed further south and high pressure to our north is providing cooler temperatures but with plenty of cloud cover. A few showers/drizzle expected over the mountains this afternoon, mainly toward the NC/TN/VA border area.

High pressure to our north. Front to our south. Relatively cool cloudy weather in between with some rain along the southern Blue Ridge between VA-GA.

An area of low pressure ~150 miles off the NC coast has a short window (thru Monday) to acquire some tropical/subtropical characteristics. The system is moving ENE, away from the U.S. coast. Environmental conditions become unfavorable for development after Monday. #ncwx #weather

High pressure will keep quiet weather across most of the area for the next few days, except in the NC/VA mountains, where afternoon isolated showers are possible each day. Rain chances return Wednesday as moisture flows back into the Mid-Atlantic into the late week. #RNKwx

High temperatures across the region today will average around five to ten degrees below normal. Some of the higher peaks and ridges will experience an even greater negative departure from normal.

After last week featured hot and humid conditions, this week is starting notably cooler. The high temperatures for today are revealed in this graphic. These values are about ten degrees below normal for this time of year.

Mostly quiet weather today. Clouds increase late in the day with isolated showers/storms in the NC mountains. Highs remain below normal in the 70s to low 80s. Scattered showers move in overnight, lasting into Tuesday, with the best chance west of I-77 and south of US-460. #RNKwx

Radar is pretty darn quiet this morning. Only a low chance (20-30%) of precipitation this afternoon for the NC mountains. Enjoy it while it lasts as increased widespread precipitation chances return as early as tomorrow.

What is that rainbow spot next to the sun? 🤔 If you saw this over Blacksburg, VA this evening, you saw a sundog! 🐶☀️ It's an optical illusion that happens when sunlight shines through millions of tiny ice crystals high in the atmosphere. #sundog #skywatching #science #clouds

Heavy rainfall is expected through Thursday, with a quarter to half inch in most places, with the highest amounts of 1-2"+ from the Grayson Highlands, southward into Northwest North Carolina. These higher amounts may result in localized flooding of poor drainage areas. #RNKwx

On this day in 2003, an F1 tornado developed near Roanoke at 12:05 AM. It rolled a vehicle 75 feet & lifted a portion of a roof off a business. Later in the day, storms produced golf ball size hail & winds over 65 MPH. More info on tornadoes here: spc.noaa.gov/faq/tornado/

A disturbance will ride over a wedge of cool air, bringing rain to areas along and east of the Blue Ridge today. The heaviest rain (around an inch) will pass over the Piedmont.

Today will be the coolest day of the next seven. Temperatures will trend upward with values by the middle part of next week averaging a few degrees above normal. After today, rain chances will be at a minimum through the start of the weekend, then trend upward through mid-week.

High pressure over the northeast U.S. will keep a wedge of cooler air in place across the Mid-Atlantic states again today.
