HARRISONBURG VA: (ROCKTOWN NOW) – Clouds will stay with us into the weekend, thanks in part to a low pressure system tracking across the U.S.  Winds will be increasing as today goes on with a cold front tracking toward the Shenandoah Valley by tonight and stay close by for several days, keeping unstable weather and a chance for showers through at least Sunday.  A warm southerly flow of air will help temperatures to climb starting today and continuing into the weekend with temperatures hitting 80 on Saturday.
