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.

How altitude affects fireworks in Colorado
(COLORADO) — Fireworks hit differently here in Colorado, literally, and that's because of the altitude we experience here. Colorado's high elevation means the air is less dense. That lower density gives fireworks less air resistance and drag, so when they're launched, they travel higher and faster before bursting, which is pretty cool to see! But there's a flip side. With less oxygen in our atmosphere, fireworks don't burn as hot. And that can actually make the colors appear less vibrant. So while the show is still beautiful, the reduced burn temperature can slightly mute those bold reds and greens. That said, there's an upside to the altitude: better visibility. Fireworks set off at higher elevations can be seen from farther away, which is great news if you're watching from a distance or can't make it to the main event. From all of us at FOX21 News, have a safe and fun 4th of July! Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
