Blacksburg, Va. – Virginia is set for a stretch of dry, comfortable weather as high pressure pushes in from Canada, keeping rain chances away through Saturday. Daytime highs will hover in the upper 60s to low 70s across much of the region, with cooler nights dipping into the 40s and 50s.
According to the National Weather Service in Blacksburg, the stable system will dominate the region through the first week of October, keeping skies mostly clear. Cities including Roanoke, Lynchburg, and Danville will see afternoon highs in the low 70s Wednesday and Thursday before slightly cooler air filters in by the weekend.
The biggest change will be overnight lows. Locations in the New River Valley, such as Blacksburg and Radford, may see readings fall into the upper 40s late Thursday into Friday, making for crisp mornings. Travel should remain smooth with no weather-related hazards expected, though drivers should watch for patchy morning fog in valleys.
Residents are encouraged to take advantage of the stable stretch for outdoor activities, yard work, or fall events. With no rain in the forecast, drought-sensitive areas won’t see relief, but cooler nights should help ease energy demand.
The dry pattern is expected to hold into early next week, with the next chance of unsettled weather uncertain.
