Pinpoint Weather: Tropical Storm Chantal to bring some rain tomorrow
ROANOKE, Va. (WFXR) — Tropical Storm Chantal will be moving inland and over the Carolinas during the next 24-36 hours which will influence our weather and increase rain chances for some tomorrow. Some areas of patchy fog will be possible tonight, mainly in the valleys west of the Blue Ridge. Low temperatures will range from the upper 50s to mid 60s. Tomorrow will begin to feel a bit more humid as dewpoints rise with high temperatures in the 80s. The morning will be dry as high clouds on the outskirts of Chantal stream in from the south. Into the afternoon, showers and a few storms will be possible with the outer bands moving in from the south along and east of the Blue Ridge into the Piedmont. Overall rainfall amounts will be modest with up to 1″ through Monday possible over far southeastern portions of our area. The heaviest will remain to the south over the Carolinas. Showers remain possible into the night as well for eastern areas. As what is left of Chantal moves away Monday, a frontal boundary from the northwest will approach and will likely stall out near or over the area. This will return the chance for daily showers and storms across the region through most of the week. Temperatures will remain warm and hot in the mid 80s to lower 90s. Humidity will be elevated which will increase the heat index values to the upper 90s near 100 degrees east of the Blue Ridge by mid-week. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Past parades and rain delays: Fourth of July weather rewind
AUSTIN (KXAN) — Fourth of July, especially in Texas, is often thought about as an ideal summer day where friends and family can gather and enjoy a dip in the pool or a cookout on the grill. However, not every Fourth of July is sunshine and fireworks. The KXAN First Warning Weather Team took a dive into some of the previous weather data from past Fourth of Julys here in Austin. While warm and sunny weather are typical for the holiday, not every Fourth has been ideal for outdoor celebration due to not only precipitation, but also extreme temperatures. Austin weather history: The hottest, coldest and wettest Fourth of Julys Looking back through the weather record books, the average rainfall is 0.14″ on the Fourth of July, but since 1998, there have been four holidays that have had more than a quarter inch of rainfall. The most rainfall on Independence Day since 1994 was back in 2018 with a total of 1.70″ falling in the 24 hours. High temperatures mostly remain in the 90s on the Fourth, but there have been seven days since 2005 with triple digit temperatures, with three quarters of those falling after 2020. The record for high temperatures on the holiday fell back in 2009 with a high of 104°. For reference, Heat Advisories are issued in Austin when the temperature is at or above 103°. This year, clear conditions are not a guarantee. Between the early morning hours of 5 and 9 — unfortunately, prime parade time — chances of showers across the area are at 30%. For the rest of the day, chances of rain remain between 10-20% with heavy cloud cover expected all throughout the day. While chances of rain this Fourth are not 100%, if you are planning on having outdoor festivities, having a secondary plan may be a good idea. The good news is sweltering temperatures will not be a factor this holiday, with highs staying just below 90°.
