Weekend weather forecast for Augusta County

AUGUSTA COUNTY – It looks like we are finally getting a break this weekend.

A cold front pressing southward has made its way to the Shenandoah Valley. The cold front will provide us with some relief, said AccuWeather meteorologist Tom Kines, but it's not out of the question that it pushes back north over the weekend which means more humidity.

Next week the cold front may press north and south providing the area with much needed rain.
