BE STAYING QUIET FOR US OUR
SATELLITE RADAR SHOWING THE
CLOUD COVER THAT MOVED OUT
THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON INTO
THIS EVENING.
HOWEVER WE DO HAVE MORE ON THE
WAY AS WE WATCH
OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS OUR NEXT
COLD FRONT APPROACHING, BUT IT
IS GOING TO BE A
SLOW PROCESS AND TELL THAT COLD
FRONT DOES MOVE IN
SO OUR HOURLY PLANNER IF YOU’RE
HEADING UP FOR THIS EVENING
AGAIN ALREADY SEEING
THOSE TEMPERATURES AT OR BELOW
FREEZING AS WE HEAD TOWARDS
ABOUT 10:00PM
WE’RE GOING TO NOTICE THAT OUR
TEMPERATURES ARE EVENTUALLY
REACHING INTO THE 20’S AND
BRING IN
MORE CLOUDS TONIGHT AND THEN BY
TOMORROW MORNING, WE’RE LOOKING
AT TEMPERATURES OUT THE DOOR
IN THE 20’S, SO PRETTY
CONSISTENT FROM WHAT
WE’VE SEEN OVER THE PAST FEW
DAYS MAYBE A TOUCH WARMER
BUT OVERALL CERTAINLY GOING TO
BE A VERY COLD START FOR US 20
OUT OF THIS ALONG WITH DANVILLE
FOR BLACKSBURG YOU’RE REACHING
22 IN COVINGTON WE’LL BE REACHING 21 DEGREES IN THE MORNING AS WE GO THROUGHOUT THE
DAY TOMORROW WE’RE GOING TO BE SEEING TEMPERATURES RUNNING EVEN WARMER THAN WE WERE TODAY
IF YOU STEPPED OUTSIDE YOU MAY
HAVE NOTICED THAT IT WAS A
LITTLE BIT WARMER OUT THERE
EITHER WAY WE’RE ACTUALLY
REACHING INTO THE 40’S FOR SOME
OF US AS WE HEAD TOWARDS
TOMORROW AFTERNOON.
AND THERE’S
THAT MIXTURE CLOUD COVER
AND SUNSHINE AGAIN SIMILAR TO
TODAY WHERE WE SAW MORE CLOUDS
IN
THE MORNING VERSUS LITTLE BIT
MORE IN THE WAY OF SOME
SUNSHINE LATER IN THE DAY SO
ACROSS THE REST OF
THE REGION, MOSTLY 40’S.
WE COULD HOLD ON TO A FEW MID
TO UPPER 30’S, ESPECIALLY
TOWARDS
THE HIGHLANDS, WHERE’S AREAS
LIKE DANVILLE ARE ACTUALLY
GETTING VERY CLOSE TO THOSE
LOWER 50’S SO THAT’S GOING TO
BE FEELING PRETTY NICE 41
THOUGH ONE OF OUR COOLER SPOTS
FOR FLOYD TEMPERATURE TREND OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS WE’RE GOING TO NOTICE THAT THOSE
TEMPERATURES ARE CLIMBING VERY
NICELY BUT THEN WE LOOK 6 TO 10 DAYS OUT IN OUR NEXT COLD FRONT BRINGS IN THOSE A BELOW AVERAGE
TEMPERATURES

TIME OF YEAR AT THIS POINT IS
48 DEGREES SO SLOWLY BUT SURELY
WE ARE SEEING
OUR TEMPERATURES STARTING TO
CLIMB IN FACT A FEBRUARY
BEGINNING ON TUESDAY
AND THOSE AVERAGE HIGHS
USUALLY AROUND ABOUT 48 DEGREES
AS WE KICK OFF THE MONTH, BUT
THEN AS WE END
THE MONTH WE’RE GOING TO SEE
AVERAGE HIGHS IN THE MID 50’S
SO GOING TO BE TRENDING IN THE
RIGHT DIRECTION, NOT ONLY THAT
BUT WILL BE GAINING A LITTLE
OVER AN HOUR OF DAYLIGHT
