HARRISONBURG VA: (ROCKTOWN NOW) – Wind will continue to be a factor over the Shenandoah Valley, at least for the first half of today.  An area of low pressure to our north will slowly move away, replaced by high pressure arriving Thursday.  Temperatures will be colder today and especially tonight, when lows will drop to around freezing in most of the valley. Temperatures will return to the 70’s, maybe even 80, by the weekend, ahead of another cold front, dropping south over the weekend.  The approach of the front will mean clouds, more wind, and a chance for some showers and thunderstorms this weekend.
