Blacksburg, VA – Low clouds cling to the Blue Ridge this morning as light rain drizzles across Blacksburg and nearby valleys. Damp roads reflect headlights along Route 460, and mist drapes over campus lawns — a classic late-November setup before clearer skies take hold.
The National Weather Service reports scattered showers continuing through the morning, with patchy fog possible around sunrise. Rain chances fade by midday as drier air moves in from the west. Temperatures will rise into the mid-60s before dipping into the low 40s tonight. Drivers should watch for slick spots on bridges and shaded backroads as early travel ramps up across Southwest Virginia.
By Sunday, skies turn brilliantly blue. Calm winds and highs near 60°F bring perfect weather for outdoor prep, early decorating, or college football tailgates. Monday stays sunny and mild before clouds increase again Tuesday, when a weak front could trigger scattered showers.
Looking ahead, Thanksgiving Week starts mild across Virginia but colder air looms behind a major U.S. front expected late next week. Forecasters continue to monitor a potential winter pattern shift, which could bring a mix of rain and even early snow to northern states as holiday travel peaks.
