HARRISONBURG VA: (ROCKTOWN NOW) – After only reaching the upper teens and low twenties on Monday, temperatures will be back in the same range again today.  An Arctic high will maintain control of our weather into Thursday, before lifting north and letting slightly milder temperatures return Thursday into the upcoming weekend.  A low developing off the coast late in the week will bring some clouds but not likely any real precipitation to us.  Another low is expected to follow over the weekend and could lead to some mixed rain and sleet the first of next week.
