HARRISONBURG VA: (Rocktown Now) – A cold front is expected to stall over the Shenandoah Valley and stick around into at least the middle of the week. The chance for showers and thunderstorms will continue through the end of the week. As this front moves back and forth, where it lands will help determine where the best chance for heavy rain and thunderstorms will be. Another cold front will increase the chance for showers and thunderstorms for Friday into Saturday. Ahead of the second front, heat and humidity are expected to return on Thursday.
