CLEARED -----Weather Authority Alert Day issued for Tuesday, July 28
This Weather Authority Alert Day has been cleared. Our storm system is right on track this morning with widespread rainfall overtaking the Highlands, Roanoke, and NRV Zones. As this first swath of showers and storms move through the region, our first threats are heavy rainfall and a few damaging wind gusts. However, the increased threat for damaging wind gusts, along with an isolated tornado or instances of hail will fire off for the afternoon round of storms.

Tropical Storm Bertha never got within several hundred miles of the Blue Ridge. It came ashore on the Louisiana coast, wandered west into Texas, and fell apart before the week was out. And yet the same storm is a big part of why the Roanoke River climbed toward major flood stage this week, why the low-water bridge between Smith Park and Wasena Park vanished under muddy water, and why city crews spent Friday working to reopen the Roanoke River Greenway.
