Blacksburg, Va. – Virginia is set for one of its most comfortable holiday weekends of the summer, with highs in the 70s, low humidity, and only slim chances for rain through Labor Day. The pleasant stretch arrives under steady high pressure, keeping skies mostly clear and conditions feeling more like mid-September than late August.
According to the National Weather Service in Blacksburg, Saturday will be the driest and brightest day of the weekend, with temperatures reaching the low 70s in the mountains and upper 70s across the Piedmont. The southern Blue Ridge carries the best chance of showers late Sunday into Monday, but rainfall odds remain low—around 20% each day.
Travelers heading through Interstate 81 or U.S. Route 460 should expect smooth driving conditions for most of the weekend. Outdoor events, barbecues, and end-of-summer gatherings should also see few weather interruptions.
Looking ahead, dry and sunny conditions continue into midweek, with temperatures holding steady in the low to mid-70s. Any widespread rainfall is unlikely until later next week.
