Blacksburg, VA – Light to moderate snow continues across much of southwest and central Virginia this evening, according to the National Weather Service in Blacksburg. Heavier snowfall is being reported across the southern Piedmont region, while lighter bands persist north of Interstate 64.
According to the latest NWS radar update, snow will persist for several more hours before gradually tapering off from west to east. Forecasters expect the system to exit the region overnight, bringing an end to widespread snow by early Friday morning.
Road conditions remain slick in higher elevations and along the Blue Ridge, where snowfall rates have been locally heavier. The National Weather Service continues to encourage residents to report measured snow totals—particularly along and west of the Blue Ridge—via official weather channels.
Drivers are urged to use caution this evening as temperatures fall below freezing, increasing the potential for icy roadways. Even minor accumulations may lead to hazardous travel, especially on untreated secondary routes.
Snow is expected to fully move out before sunrise Friday, with dry and colder conditions following into the weekend.
