This will be the start of an active and cooler weather pattern in Southwest and Central Virginia.

An upper-level low pressure system will be one of the primary reasons we keep rain in the forecast each day.

At the moment, Monday and Wednesday are forecast to be the wettest days of the week. We’ll also have highs in the 60s and 70s each day.
