HARRISONBURG VA: (Rocktown Now) – A cold front will continue to move south of the Shenandoah Valley today. Unfortunately, it will push rainfall from the remnants of tropical disturbance Authur off to our south. The only areas of Virginia likely to see any rain will be the southern and possibly central Virginia, although that will most likely be light rain at best.


High pressure will bring sunny skies and lower humidity to our area for the weekend. Next week may start with some soaking rain. A strong low will bring a chance for heavy rain and thunderstorms late Sunday and during the day Monday.
