Blacksburg, VA – A calm but cooler day is expected across southwest Virginia as clouds gradually increase through the afternoon, according to the US National Weather Service in Blacksburg.
Temperatures will range from the upper 30s in the mountains to the 40s and low 50s in the southern Piedmont, bringing slightly milder conditions compared to recent mornings. However, cold air from the north will move in tonight, causing overnight lows to dip into the 20s area-wide.
Forecasters say dry weather will persist through the day, though skies will become mostly cloudy later this afternoon and evening. The cooler air mass will set the stage for a chilly end to the week, with another round of cold mornings expected Friday and Saturday.
No major precipitation is expected today or tonight, but forecasters are monitoring developing systems that could bring a mix of rain and snow to the region by late Friday into the weekend.
Residents are encouraged to prepare for another frosty morning and take precautions to protect pets, plants, and pipes from freezing temperatures overnight.
