Cold front to drop some rain Wednesday morning, then cooler late week

Sunny and dry weather will continue through Tuesday, with temperatures hovering in the upper 70s to around 80. A cold front will drop through the area late Tuesday evening/early Wednesday morning with widespread showers through about 9am Wednesday, followed by another surge of cool, crisp autumn air to end the week. Unfortunately, this round of rain will only amount to half an inch, at the most. Drought continues across western Virginia where fall color is expected to be much more muted this fall.
