HARRISONBURG VA: (Rocktown Now) – This seems to be the year of roller coaster temperatures. In the spring it was 70s and 20s. This week we go from 90 to a high in the 50s at weeks end. I don’t think we’ll break any records today. The high at Dale Enterprise on this date in 1911 was 94. Today and Tuesday will be hot with a chance for thunderstorms. The storm threat increases Wednesday as a cold front approaches and Thursday and Friday, we’ll most likely top out in the low 60’s.
