Blacksburg, Virginia – Scattered rain showers are expected across parts of southwest Virginia and nearby mountain areas on Christmas Day, though temperatures will remain mild for the holiday.
According to the National Weather Service in Blacksburg, rain chances are highest in locations west of the Blue Ridge, with showers possible throughout the day and into the evening. Areas farther east are expected to see lower precipitation chances.
