HARRISONBURG VA: (Rocktown Now) – After a dry day on Wednesday, the chance for showers and thunderstorms will increase over the next few days. The chance for showers today will be low, but will increase on Friday as a system pulls north out of the Gulf of America, increasing temperatures and humidity levels. High pressure to the north of the Shenandoah Valley will drop south and lower the risk for storms this weekend.
