Virginia begins with crisp air and bright sun across the New River Valley, but the calm won’t hold as a more active spring pattern builds just ahead. Roads across Blacksburg and along US-460 remain dry and clear through midday, offering a smooth start before changes arrive.
According to the National Weather Service, highs reach near 77°F with light winds and occasional gusts up to 20 mph, keeping conditions comfortable and stable early . That warmth sets the stage for increasing instability heading into midweek.
By Wednesday afternoon, scattered showers begin developing between late morning and early afternoon. Storm coverage increases quickly, with rain chances climbing to 70%. Thunderstorms may follow by evening, bringing brief heavy downpours that reduce visibility and create slick travel conditions during peak commute hours.

Thursday offers a partial break early, but another round of showers may redevelop by afternoon with a 30% chance of rain. Friday trends quieter with partly sunny skies and highs near 78°F before additional scattered showers return by Saturday.
