Blacksburg, VA – Sunshine and mild air will dominate Sunday across Montgomery County, offering one of the best outdoor days in August before unsettled weather moves in Monday. Morning fog could reduce visibility until about 9 a.m., but skies will clear quickly, leading to highs near 81°F with light afternoon breezes.
According to the National Weather Service in Blacksburg, a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms begins after 2 p.m. Monday, with higher storm coverage possible by midweek. Localized downpours may cause ponding on roads, especially in low-lying areas, and could impact the evening commute on U.S. 460 and surrounding routes.
Tuesday and Wednesday carry the highest storm potential, with rain chances reaching 50% by Wednesday afternoon. Outdoor activities and local events early in the week should be planned with flexibility, and residents are urged to secure loose outdoor items and check for weather alerts each morning.
While Sunday is ideal for hiking the Huckleberry Trail or enjoying a late-summer picnic, the return of daily storm chances next week means windows for dry weather will be short-lived. Warnings could be issued if storms strengthen.
