Forecast Discussion

High pressure controls our weather until Thursday. Temperatures will be mild and clouds on the increase Wednesday.

A cold front moving in from the west will move toward western Va Thursday. It will generate some light rain but the rain area associated with this front will be decreasing as it moves east. The front moves through Friday but the cold air doesn't move in until Friday night. Temperatures remain mild until Friday evening. Light rain is possible Friday, especially during the morning.

An upper level feature will move through Friday night bringing cold temperatures, gusty winds and snow showers and flurries. Most of the snow showers will occur in the Grayson Highlands. The snow showers and flurries will continue Saturday before tapering off by evening. Saturday is a cold and windy day as high pressure builds in.

High pressure settles to our south and mild temperatures return for Sunday and Monday.
