Here is a look at the expected rainfall over the next several days. The rainfall will come in periods. The more widespread rain arrives Sat night into Sun, and again Mon night into Tue. So while it does not look very heavy at any one time, it will add up by Tue.

Where did all of the bitter cold air from mid-January go? Answer, it retreated back up into Canada. Compare the upper-level atmospheric temperature maps from mid-January with those of the current week and you will see. Is the cold coming back, well not in the next 7-days!

With snow & sleet falling tonight, expect plenty of icy patches on roads, bridges, & walkways. Go slow- just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there! If driving, check wv511.org , 511virginia.org , or drivenc.gov to see road info.

No white Christmas this year for Roanoke, and like many recent years it will be mild on Christmas Day. The Roanoke record high temperature was set just 2 years ago with a temperature of 69. Not quite that warm this time around, expect highs in the 50s around the area.

Strong winds will continue today, although not as high as yesterday. Snow showers will taper off after the morning, and most of the area will be dry for the day. Temps will be cold, and with the strong winds, wind chills this morning will be in the single digits to low teens.

Growing weary of the early sunsets & long, dark, ~15 hour nights! Well, here's some good news, perhaps a little known fact. We have already reached the earliest sunset. On 12/12 the sun will set 1 min later! By 12/31, we will have an 10 more minutes of daylight in the evening!!
