HARRISONBURG VA: (ROCKTOWN NOW) – Looks like high pressure is heading out to sea today, which means things are about to heat up. Expect rising temperatures and humidity, and with that, a better chance for thunderstorms as we move through midweek. A slow-moving front is making its way in from the west, and it’s likely to spark some of those storms. By Thursday, that front is expected to stall nearby, sticking around into the first half of the weekend. So, we’re in for a classic summertime pattern to wrap up the work week and kick off the weekend.
