Rain Rears its Ugly Head in Fredericksburg: Weekend Weather Forecast

Temperatures continue to drop as wind gusts continue to pick up, distancing the area from the warm, calm summer weather.

Temperatures will be in the mid-70s on Friday but will fall to the mid-60s by Sunday, and wind gusts of more than 10 miles an hour are projected all throughout the coming weekend.
