Pinpoint Weather: Hot Wednesday with isolated storms

ROANOKE, Va. ( WFXR ) — Daily shower and storm chances will remain in the forecast through the weekend. Expect hot and humid conditions across Southwest and Central Virginia for several days.

Patchy fog may impact the Wednesday morning commute. Otherwise, a mix of sun and clouds is slated for the day. Morning temperatures will start in the 60s and lower 70s before warming into the hot upper 80s and 90s by the afternoon. Due to the humid air, heat index values in the triple digits are possible east of the Blue Ridge.

Thursday will be similar to Wednesday. It will be hot and humid with highs in the upper 80s and lower/middle 90s. A few hit-or-miss storms are possible during the afternoon and evening. Stronger storms may produce gusty winds, hail, and downpours.

Rain chances will decrease for Sunday and Monday, although a few isolated showers and storms cannot be ruled out.
