The lows have dropped to the 30s with some spots near freezing. Hopefully you've protected your early season plants! Thursday will be near 70 in the afternoon, with more of the same sunshine and fantastic weather. We're not as cold tonight with some extra clouds developing and a breeze out of the south picking up.

TOPICS:AuroraNorthern statesGeomagnetic stormVirginiaLight pollutionRadio communicationsGPS navigationSky watchingSolar forecasters are expecting a geomagnetic storm tonight that will help kick up the aurora in some northern U.S. states. Unfortunately for us in the Commonwealth, it's unlikely this will spread far enough south for us. This storm will be peaking as the sun sets, which likely means it's going to be too bright outside for us to see anything.

TOPICS:WednesdaySunnyFrostyTemperaturesBreezyWind gustsBlue RidgeWeekendWednesday may be the coolest day of the week, as sunny skies continue throughout the week. The highs drop to mid 60s Wednesday and it's still going to be breezy too. We may have a few wind gusts around 25-30 mph today. We could get down to the low 30s overnight, and some spots will deal with some frost. This won't be a widespread issue, but near the Blue Ridge you should especially keep it in mind.
