I’m so lucky my first story included one of my favorite sports 🚴 Good luck to Chuck and the rest of the team who start their charity ride Sunday morning!
The Shenandoah Valley is in desperate need of rainfall, whereas in #757 we are seeing some dry spots. Good news for all, we are tracking Friday rain. A cold front will bring rain to the western portion of the state and a coastal low will bring rain to the coastline of VA and NC. https://t.co/G4MHDehslv
