Mostly Cloudy skies will continue today with the chance for thunderstorms redeveloping this afternoon and continuing into the evening hours. Ann Strober grabbed this shot late Friday afternoon of a distant thunderstorm over the mountains in Nelson County. Thunderstorms late in the evening and overnight Saturday have the potential to produce heavy rainfall.
By Sunday afternoon as a cold front moves east of the area, much colder air will filter into the region with temps falling to the upper 30’s across the area overnight Sunday into Monday morning. The mountains may even see some mid 30’s by Monday morning with the potential for frost in some spots.

It’s no surprise in Nelson County that beer and apples would cross paths somewhere. There’s plenty of both to go around here! Devils Backbone Brewmaster, Jason Oliver, finished up a new creation this week called, Apple Blossom Wheat Beer. “This is a beer that’s a bit lighter, perhaps a little sweet at first taste,” says Jason. He tells NCL many women say they really like the it!
The new beer is available this weekend at DBBC. Yummy!
