HARRISONBURG VA: (Rocktown Now) – Sunny and breezy with low humidity! This weekend will be one of those that you wish for during the summer. By the way, summer officially starts at 4:24 a.m. Sunday morning. An area of high pressure will move out of the Mississippi Valley today, helping keep skies sunny and humidity levels low today and Sunday. Our next chance of rain will be Monday. Low pressure will move to our north Sunday night into Monday. Close enough that we “might” get some rain. It all depends on how far north it stays. We might see light rain, but if it slides a little further south, a good rain may be in store.
