Weekend Forecast

A very blustery Friday won't be the best start to the upcoming weekend, at least for you warm-weather lovers, but Saturday should bring more comfortable conditions to central Virginia. We should have plenty of sunshine, lighter winds, and highs in the low 50s on Saturday. It won't be a warm day by any stretch, but it definitely looks to be the better of the two weekend days for outdoor activities. Clouds will increase late Saturday ahead of a storm system that will bring a chance of flurries or light snow to the area Sunday morning. A cold front will move in early, keeping highs in the low to mid 40s on Sunday.

Gusty Winds Thursday

Strong, gusty winds from the West and Northwest are sweeping through Central Virginia today behind a cold front, as the associated strong low pressure system tracks through the Northeast. At 11 a.m., winds are gusting up to 35 mph in the area, and will continue to remain strong through the afternoon. Temperatures are also expected to begin dropping through the afternoon back into the 40's as the cooler air comes with the Northwest winds. Skies will remain mostly sunny, with just a few clouds this afternoon before becoming clear tonight.

Patchy light fog Thursday morning

After a wet Wednesday, plenty of moisture is in place to produce a little fog Thursday morning, as winds remain fairly light and skies are becoming mostly clear. Visibilities at 5 a.m. are doing fine (better than 4.0 miles) at all reporting stations, but a few spots in Central Virginia may have patchy light fog through sunrise.
