What we re tracking later this week and this weekend
ROANOKE, Va. – Sunday’s weather was perfect for an extra nap to rid ourselves of the Sunday scaries!
Now that Monday is here, we’re looking at more of the same weather. The clouds will be with us for much of the day, which will keep temperatures below average once again.
High temperature forecast for Monday, 5/17/2021
With a front nearby, that will trigger showers and storms to our northwest that will then ride into our area during the afternoon and evening.

Happy Monday and welcome to another edition of the Beyond The Forecast!
Typically, we use this weekly newsletter to explain current weather phenomena; however, this week will be a little different!
We’re starting a mini-series and we’re taking you behind the scenes with the four meteorologists who make up Your Local Weather Authority.
Jeff, Chris, Delaney and I will talk about our backgrounds in meteorology and what led us to Roanoke and WSLS 10.
First up, Chris Michaels. Take it away Chris!

What we re tracking for the weekend of 5/15 and 5/16/2021
ROANOKE, Va. – Let’s be honest. You’ve had your eyes on the weekend since Monday. Before we can get there, though, let’s get through Friday first. We start with temperatures in the 40s during the morning with afternoon temperatures similar to what we saw Thursday.
High temperature forecast for Friday, 5/14/2021
What’s different is the little bit of an upslope flow in the winds. That creates the chance for just some sporadic afternoon showers. This isn’t anything I would cancel my plans over.

Tuesday s severe thunderstorm threat - 05/04/2021
ROANOKE, Va. – You can definitely feel the humidity in the air these last two days. That isn’t going anywhere Tuesday, with temperatures rising into the 80s for most of throughout the day.
High temperature forecast for Tuesday, 5/4/2021
As a storm system to the west fires off some storms, those storms will move into that warmth and humidity after about 2 p.m. Tuesday.

Anything that does move in could become briefly strong-to-severe with localized wind damage and/or hail becoming possible.
