Ahead of it, southwesterly winds will push highs into the low and mid 70s.  There will be some clouds with the front, and just the slightest chance of a shower or thunderstorm in the afternoon.

Behind the front, it will be much cooler on Sunday.  A disturbance will pass south of the state, but it will be close enough to cause some showers, mostly south of I-64.  Highs will be in the lower 50s.

We continue to watch the potential for a stronger storm on Tuesday.  The exact track is not certain, but some computer models are suggesting a track that could bring some wet snow.  A few models show the potential for just cold rain, or a mix of rain and snow.
