Blacksburg, Virginia – Virginia residents can expect a warm and dry stretch through midweek as a high-pressure system brings clear skies and steadily rising temperatures. Highs will climb into the 80s by Tuesday, with Friday bringing the next chance of widespread thunderstorms.
According to the National Weather Service in Blacksburg, Monday begins with sunny skies and temperatures in the 70s. By Tuesday and Wednesday, highs will hold steady in the low to mid-80s across the region, including Roanoke, Lynchburg, and Danville. Humidity will remain low, but by Thursday, clouds will return and signal a shift toward more unsettled conditions.
Friday carries the best chance of showers and thunderstorms, especially across the Piedmont region, where highs may reach the upper 80s. Commuters and outdoor workers should stay weather-aware and monitor updates for possible watches or warnings.
Drivers are urged to plan morning travel early on Friday to avoid potential delays from thunderstorms. Power outages and brief flooding in low-lying areas are possible with stronger cells.
The storm threat could linger into the weekend. NWS Blacksburg advises residents to check for updated advisories later this week.
