Thanksgiving night will be mostly clear, with temperatures dropping to a chilly 34 degrees, making for a brisk evening.
Looking ahead to Black Friday, the forecast calls for sunny skies with highs near 47 degrees.

The region’s five-day forecast also signals a dry stretch into next week, with Monday and Tuesday offering clear skies and highs near 39 degrees. These conditions make for ideal post-holiday travel weather across Virginia, but drivers should remain alert to icy patches on rural roads overnight.
