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.

Pinpoint Weather: Daily rain chances through next week
ROANOKE, Va. (WFXR) — Daily shower and storm chances are expected across Southwest and Central Virginia through next week. Friday will be warm and muggy. Temperatures will rise into the upper 70s and 80s under variably cloudy skies. A nearly stationary front will set up over the Mid-Atlantic, allowing scattered showers and storms to develop. While a few morning showers cannot be ruled out, rain coverage will be more widespread during the afternoon and evening. Isolated strong storms may develop. Repeated rounds of heavy rainfall could lead to flooding concerns. The unsettled pattern will persist into the weekend. Similar to Friday, there's a greater chance for scattered showers and storms during the afternoon and evening hours each day. You may want a 'Plan B' if you have any plans outdoors this Father's Day. Highs for Saturday and Sunday will be in the upper 70s and 80s. While stronger storms may produce gusty winds, the main storm concern is heavy rainfall. Overall, rainfall totals will range from 0.75 – 2.00″ over the next three days, although some thunderstorms may produce locally higher amounts. Most storms will be slow-moving and could train on each other, so flash flooding is a concern. Daily rain chances will linger into the upcoming week. Warm, moist air will continue to push through Southwest and Central Virginia; scattered showers and storms will have the chance to form during the afternoon and evening hours. Highs will be in the upper 70s and 80s on Monday and Tuesday. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
