<< Good evening, I'm Robin Reed in the
SkyTracker7 Forecast Center. The high
temperature today in Roanoke was 90 and
the low was 70. Locally tonight,
showers and storms appear to be staying
south of the area. We are watching a
complex of storms heading out of Ohio
that may bring an isolated shower to
the Highlands early Thursday morning.
Then, the heat and humidity return
Thursday afternoon, with temperatures
soaring into the 90s. It could very
well feel like the hottest day of the
summer in the Piedmont tomorrow with
heat index values near 100 degrees. The
national analysis shows Bermuda high

pressure keeping winds out of the
southwest for one more day. A cold
front in the Great Lakes will sweep
through Friday, providing a chance of
storms and then dropping temperatures
and humidity for the weekend. Cool high
pressure will keep temperatures in the
80s for Saturday and Sunday. Remember,
you can always get the latest weather

QUITE A FEW AVAILABLE. IT'S NOT THE
BETTER OPTION...THAT'S BECAUSE MANY

Also watch out for deli meats they
can be loaded with sodium.

And don't be fooled by the packaging
on breads...read the labels to make
you're getting whole grains and at
least 2 grams of fiber per serving.

If you're shopping for drinks stick
with 100-percent juice. But limit how
much you drink because its loaded with
sugar.

And milk... choose skim or 1-percent.

first inning. Mitch Einertson who has

with the games first run.

Salem put up another crocked
number in the second. Chris Johnson
hits it where they aint, by grouding

Frederick got a run in the top of
the third, but it cost them 2 outs as
the Avs turn a pretty double play with
the bases loaded. *CG final Frederick Salem wins again taking the first 2 5 games of the series with the Keys, 8 to Salem 5 the Final.
