Temperatures are a little cooler out there Thursday afternoon thanks to a cool front that passed through overnight. Mid-60s and lower 70s are expected across the Commonwealth.

Once we head into the weekend, we will see another front pass through. We could also see a few light showers passing overhead for areas in the NRV and Highlands. However, rain chances only exist in the early hours of Saturday and are very low at the moment.
