The morning starts soft — patchy fog until 9am, then mostly sunny skies pushing toward 87°. Southwest wind at 2 mph, which is to say almost no wind at all. By 2pm the storms roll in — 70% chance through early evening, though nothing severe. New rainfall stays under a tenth of an inch for most of the day. Tonight drops to 67° with lingering showers tapering off before midnight. It's a Sunday that asks you to plan around the afternoon weather, not fight it.
The Taubman Museum is open noon to 5pm today — six floors of galleries, all climate-controlled, and the café on the main level if you need a late lunch. Mill Mountain Theatre's dark tonight, but the theater district along Jefferson has a few spots open for Sunday dinner. A Few Old Goats Brewing on the main floor of the flats is pouring all afternoon — the hazy IPA and the blonde ale are both on tap, and the front windows open if the storms hold off. If you're looking for coffee first, RND Coffee is a five-minute drive west on Memorial — they close at 2pm on Sundays.
The greenway's your best bet before lunch — the Roanoke River section from Wasena Park west toward Green Hill Park is flat, shaded in long stretches, and quiet on holiday weekends. Figure 3 to 4 miles round-trip if you walk to the pedestrian bridge and back. Mill Mountain's an option too, but the summit's fully exposed and the storms will arrive there first. If you're on the parkway overlooks by mid-afternoon, expect to see the cells building south and west. After 2pm, you're better off inside.
Monday climbs to 92° with storms likely after 1pm — heavier rainfall amounts expected, between a tenth and a quarter inch. Monday night stays active with 80% chance and steady rain through the evening. It's a two-day stretch that keeps you close to cover and makes the brewery's front room feel like the right call.
At the flats, the courtyard's dry this morning but the furniture will need a wipe-down after the afternoon storms. A Few Old Goats is pouring on the main floor — same building, walk straight over. The patio's open if you catch the window before 2pm. Otherwise, it's a Sunday for the inside tables, the blonde ale, and watching the storms roll through the valley from the front windows.
