High pressure holds in the Eastern U. S. for one more day. Friday looks almost as pleasant as Thursday.

A secondary, dry front moves through early Friday morning from west to east. Temperatures Saturday will be another step cooler with some early clouds.

More "exciting" weather comes early next week. Low pressure builds in East Texas Saturday night. It moves northeast across the Southeastern U. S. Sunday and Monday. Very cold air will wrap in behind this low Monday. Sunday has increasing clouds with rain developing at night. Rain may be heavy late Sunday night into early Monday. Rain ends by early Monday afternoon.

Then comes the cold. Snow showers and flurries develop Monday night lasting into Tuesday. Light accumulations are possible in the Virginia Highlands with lesser amounts to the east. Tuesday is the coldest day since last winter. Wednesday is cold with few clouds. More wintry weather is possible later next week.
