Coolest Mornings Of Season

The coolest mornings so far this season are expected in Central Virginia Thursday and Friday mornings, when temperatures will likely fall into the 40's. Drier air continues to filter into the Commonwealth Wednesday on the backside of a low-pressure system that is exiting to the northeast. (See map below for Low exiting into Canada northeast of the Great Lakes)

Winds will become light overnight with clear skies, allowing for good radiational cooling conditions. Lower-lying spots may become cooler than other surrounding locations in the morning. The coldest part of the state Thursday morning will be west of I-81 into West Virginia, where Frost Advisories are in effect for overnight into Thursday morning. There, temperatures are expected to dip into the mid-30's for several hours.
