Thursday is the last mild day for a while with highs ranging from the mid 60s in the northwest to the lower 70s across the southeast ahead of an approaching cold front.
Some light rain is possible Thursday night mainly north of the I-64 corridor but rainfall amounts look minimal with only a tenth of an inch or two expected at most.
