HARRISONBURG VA: (ROCKTOWN NOW) – Skies will be cloudy today with an area of low pressure over the valley.  A Winter Weather Advisory is in affect until noon today. A warm front will approach the area, causing temperatures to eventually rise into the 50’s over the central valley today and 40’s in the northern valley.  A second low, this weekend, brings the chance for rain and drizzle for Saturday into the first half of Sunday.  A coastal low may bring more moisture to the area Monday into Tuesday.  Right now most of the weather models are favoring this being a snow event, altough there’s still some disagreement on what type of precipitation and how much may fall.
