Here Comes The Heat!

High pressure will settle to the southwest of our area - prime positioning for a major warm up.



This weather pattern is typically seen during summertime. In addition, with summer-like weather comes the threat for isolated afternoon thunderstorms. We could see one or two pop up in the higher terrain to the west.

If you have outdoor plans in the mountains this weekend, you will want to keep a close eye to the sky!

It's Been A Long Time

Here is another tidbit to add to Carrie's stats in the previous post: September 14th was the last time we saw 90 degree weather in Central VA. That was 222 days ago!

First the Cold, then the Heat

Cool and dry air will settle in over the area tonight, allowing temperatures to fall into the mid 30s in parts of NW VA. A frost advisory is in effect for Albemarle, Nelson, Greene, Orange, Madison, and Culpeper counties overnight, with the expectation of lows in the range of 33-36 degrees. The weekend pattern still features a large ridge of high pressure building over the SE US, resulting in highs in the upper 80s and a few low 90s.
