HARRISONBURG VA: (Rocktown Now) -Milder temperature are expected over the Shenandoah Valley today and Thursday.  It will be breezy, but warm compared to what we can expect starting this weekend and continuing into next week. A winter storm is expected across the Mid‑Atlantic from late Saturday into Sunday, bringing widespread snow. An Arctic high moving in Friday into Saturday will lock in very cold temperatures through early next week. A persistent upper‑level trough and incoming southern‑stream energy will combine with the cold air to produce moderate to heavy snowfall this weekend.
