Blacksburg, VA – Residents across Southwest Virginia are seeing one more day of below-normal temperatures and light snow before a noticeable warm-up arrives heading into the middle of the week.
According to the National Weather Service in Blacksburg, chilly conditions continue through Sunday with scattered light snow possible, especially during the morning and midday hours. Overnight lows dipped into the teens and 20s across much of the region, with daytime highs Sunday struggling to climb out of the 20s and lower 30s in higher elevations.
By Monday, temperatures begin a gradual rebound. Highs are expected to reach the upper 30s to low 40s in communities such as Blacksburg, Bluefield, and Lewisburg, while lower-elevation areas like Danville, Martinsville, and Reidsville climb into the mid-40s.
The warming trend strengthens Tuesday, with many locations seeing afternoon highs in the 50s. Danville, Reidsville, and Southside Virginia could briefly touch the low 60s, while Roanoke, Lynchburg, and Lexington warm into the mid-to-upper 50s.
Wednesday brings the mildest temperatures of the week — and the next chance for precipitation. Forecasters say light rain is expected Wednesday, with daytime highs remaining in the upper 40s to upper 50s across most of Southwest Virginia and the New River Valley. No significant rainfall totals or severe weather are expected at this time.
Drivers should remain cautious Sunday morning where light snow and lingering cold could create slick spots, particularly in higher elevations and shaded roadways. Travel conditions improve significantly by Monday as temperatures rise above freezing during the day.
