Luckily, it doesn't last long as clouds will start to roll back tomorrow afternoon, leading into a dry and sunny weekend. One thing to take note of on Friday and Saturday, is that it will be very windy with wind speeds up to 25 mph. Looking ahead to next week, rain makes a return to the forecast.

Forecast Discussion

A low pressure system swings in from the Ohio River Valley into the backside of the Blue Ridge Mountains this morning. Creating the setup for today's periods of light rain. This event is short lived as it will be gone Friday, mid-morning. However, there may be a dash or two of flurries Friday morning as the remainder of the low moves up the Eastern seaboard.

High pressure returns to our area Friday night. Clouds are stubborn to clear out for much of the day while temperatures remain below normal. Expect it to be windy as well. Temperatures stay cool on Saturday but Sunday looks fantastic with temperatures reaching a few degrees above normal.

Starting next week, rain is back in the forecast for Monday and Monday night as a low pressure develops to our West and moves Eastward. As the low pressure system makes its way to the coast, clouds will start to decrease Tuesday morning and keeping temperatures cool as well. Wednesday looks clear and cool as another round of high pressure returns to the Eastern US.
