The warm weather will taper off on Friday, with near-record heat followed by cooling over the weekend

LYNCHBURG, Va. (WSET) — Thanks to the few showers we saw yesterday, we’ll have some fog this morning, but this won’t last for too long.

The sun is shining once again and dry air is pushing towards us. This also means that some cooler weather will arrive at the start of the weekend. Highs will be in the mid to upper 70s and the humidity will finally start to drop again.

Low temperatures will respond quickly as seasonal weather returns for a short period of time. Tonight temperatures will drop into the low 40s with just a few clouds remaining.

The weekend may start out dry, but it looks like it will rain on Sunday. Highs will be cooler and should only be in the mid to upper 60s for the remainder of the weekend. Saturday looks fantastic with just a few clouds and pleasant afternoon conditions. It will rain late in the day on Sunday, otherwise it will be similar to Saturday.

Next week it will be a bit rainy on Monday, but it looks like we will have dry weather again this week. High temperatures will be warm on Monday but should cool down towards the middle of the week.

A few showers may return to forecast levels by Thursday, but it will be sunny and dry for most of the week.
