Scattered showers move west to east Saturday afternoon

ROANOKE, Va. – Whether it’s graduation, the weekend being here or seeing the aurora borealis, we’re riding quite the high.

The weather, however, isn’t. That’s not to say it’s all bad. We’re beginning Saturday in the 40s with a fall-like chill before afternoon temperatures peak in the 60s and lower 70s.

After 2 or 3 p.m., we’ll see scattered showers move west to east. This chance will be present until about 8 p.m.
