Roanoke, Virginia – The wedge has been keeping us under a layer of cool humid air since Thursday morning. Friday morning, we start with temperatures mostly in the 30s and pockets of thick fog. Some downpours move to areas west of Parkway late in the morning along the Cold Front.
As soon as this front passes, the wind will rise. From lunch in the western half of the area gusts of 25 to 35 miles per hour are possible.
Cold air will in a sense “linger” so high temperatures will be able to reach 50-60 degrees on Friday afternoon.
The weekend will be cool, sometimes there will be more clouds.
On Sunday, we will watch as weak unrest slides south of us. With a little cold air, it is possible that we will see a mixture of rain and snow closer to the North Carolina-Virginia border (possibly in the north, like Floyd-Montgomery-Giles).
However, after that the temperature will rise to the middle of 50 degrees.

The following week (March 1) the jet stream recedes to the north. This will allow the softer air to return to the picture. We will also keep things mostly dry.
All this is reflected in the forecasts of the Climate Forecast Center for 6-10 days (see above).
