Lynchburg and Danville hit 46 degrees this morning! That's the first time since June we saw those temperatures! More of this chill each morning to wrap the week.

#Hurricane #Melissa's pressure has dropped to 892 mb. That's tied with the Florida Keys Hurricane of 1935 for the 3rd lowest pressure for an Atlantic hurricane on record. Only Wilma (2005) - 882 mb and Gilbert (1988) - 888 mb have been lower. Lower pressure = stronger hurricane.
