ROANOKE, Va. (WFXR) — The relatively dry weather pattern will continue across Southwest and Central Virginia Tuesday. Milder conditions are expected for the middle of the week.

It will be a chilly start to Tuesday with morning temperatures in the middle 40s and into the upper 30s. Pockets of dense fog may impact the morning commute in portions of the New River Valley. Remember to slow down, leave extra distance between you and the vehicle in front of you, and keep on the low beams when driving through foggy conditions

Remnants of Ian will be close to the Virginia coastline and Delmarva Tuesday. This will keep some clouds in the forecast, as well as a slight chance for a few light rain showers. However, much of the region will stay dry. High temperatures will be in the cooler-than-average upper 50s and 60s.

High pressure will build into the area for the middle of the week, resulting in more sunshine and milder conditions. For Wednesday and Thursday, mostly sunny skies will be over Southwest and Central Virginia. Morning temperatures will be in the crisp 40s with afternoon highs ranging from the upper 60s and into the mid-70s. These high temperatures will be closer to the seasonal average for the beginning of October.

A weak front will move through late Thursday into Friday. Little moisture will be associated with this front, so rain chances are low. A few light rain showers in the mountains cannot be ruled out. It will be breezy Friday with highs in the upper 60s and lower 70s.

Prepare for a cooler weekend ahead! Dry conditions will remain in the forecast for Saturday and Sunday, but high temperatures will range from the 50s into the mid-60s. The clear skies and calm winds overnight Saturday into Sunday morning will allow temperatures to fall into the lower and middle 30s. Some higher elevations may drop below freezing. Expect a cold Monday morning, too. Frost is possible.
