          fair-looking clouds that rolled through the mountains Tuesday on the
          Blue Ridge Parkway at Virginia 24. Though worse weather was

          just west of Blacksburg in only 15 minutes. ERIC BRADY/Staff. Robert
          Jewell of Branch Highways tries to cope with the sudden weather 
          changes as he slows traffic on Wells Avenue in Roanoke. If Tuesday's
