VO-NAT Mary Elizabeth Bowen was found

guilty of driving under the influence
and sentenced to six months in jail.

After she serves 10 days, the
judge will allow her to do the rest of
her time at home under electronic

monitoring.

Bowen drove her car into the
crowd outside a Blacksburg bar last
June.

She told police she was trying to
send a text message when the accident
happened.

The six-month sentence resolves
the traffic case, but Bowen still faces
three felony charges and several civil
lawsuits.

Center. High pressure will build in
from the Ohio River Valley Thursday
leading to a mostly clear sky. However,
even with all the sunshine you'll see
today, afternoon highs will be well
below average, topping out only near
40! The New River Valley and the
Highlands probably won't even make it
out of the 30s! Wind will be light.

This evening will be mostly clear, but
high level clouds will stream in

Thursday night as a front approaches
from the west. It'll be cold once again
with widespread 20s.

As a ridge develops across the
southeastern United States Friday and
through the weekend, we'll see a big
warm up. Highs are forecast near 50
Friday, mid 50s Saturday, and in the
60s Sunday. Skies will average partly
cloudy status during that time, with
weak moisture just to our west in West
Virginia and Kentucky. Our next best
chance of rain really doesn't arrive
until early next week.

THURSDAY: Sunny and cold. High: 41

THURSDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Low:

FRIDAY: Partly sunny. Iso. shower
(west). High: 49

Have a great Thursday! Meteorologist
