This comes in ahead of a front that will start producing scattered showers in our area after roughly 8 p.m.

Showers begin after 8 p.m. Thursday.

Any leftover showers Friday morning will be pretty isolated.

Colder air eventually catches up to us Saturday, while another weak system dives in from the northwest. This will produce some cool rain showers, along with some snow showers/flurries in the highest elevations of the New River Valley. Any (very light) accumulation would probably be west of I-77.

Here's a look at the weekend forecast for 2/23 through 2/25/2024.

Sunday starts another warming trend that takes us into next week.

Highs Monday through (at least) Wednesday reach into the 60s. A few isolated showers will be possible each day.

Warmer weather is likely through at least the first half of next week.

A stronger front comes in next week, providing the chance for rain and storms Thursday. Another, potentially sharper, cool-down looks likely to start the month of March.
