HARRISONBURG VA: (ROCKTOWN NOW) – High pressure will help us have another sunny day, before a series of frontial bounderies will move through the valley between Wednesday and Friday.  They are expected to bring some clouds, but no rain through the end of the week.  Temperatures will remain warm all week.  Realitive humidity is expected to be low and combined with an increase in wind speeds, will lead to an increase in the chance for wildfires, especially from midday into the early evening hours.  A strong front, headed our way for the upcoming weekend, will likely bring with it a chance for some rain and slightly cooler temperatures.
