ROANOKE, Va. (WFXR) – Heat will continue to build across the region on Wednesday.

Afternoon high temperatures are expected to be around 10 degrees above average.

As temperatures rise, pop-up showers and storms are possible in the mountains. The severe weather potential looks to remain to our west on Wednesday with any storms locally possibly producing heavy rain.

Rain and storm chances increase on Thursday as a cold front moves closer to the region. Daily chances for showers and storms are expected for Friday and throughout the holiday weekend as temperatures remain warm. Slightly cooler air will return on Tuesday.

The global spend management sector is experiencing a tailwind of sorts. Indeed, the space is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 10.3% by 2030, per Grand View Research, and adoption in other regions like the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) is expected to pick up as companies increasingly adopt expense management tools to get a clearer picture of where their money is going. Saudi Arabia-based Simplified Financial Solutions Company (SiFi), one such spend management platform in the MENA region, has now raised $10 million in a seed funding round to double down on its growth plans in its home market.

X tweaks rules to formally allow adult content
X (formerly Twitter) has long had many active NSFW (not safe for work) communities, and though the social network unofficially allowed people to post adult content, its rules have never forbidden or allowed such content outright. Over the weekend, X added clauses to its rules, formally allowing users to post adult and graphic content on the platform — with a few caveats. Users can now post consensually-produced NSFW content as long as it is prominently labeled as such.
