Blacksburg, VA – A dry streak of classic summer weather sets in across Virginia starting Sunday, as temperatures steadily rise toward 85°F by midweek.
According to the National Weather Service, Blacksburg will see mostly sunny skies from Sunday, June 1, through Wednesday, June 5. Highs begin in the low 70s Sunday and peak near 85°F by Wednesday. Dry conditions and light winds make for ideal outdoor plans, but those traveling along US-460 should stay alert for heat-related fatigue and increased wildfire risk due to low humidity.
Blacksburg residents can expect a high of 72°F Sunday under calm winds shifting westward. Monday brings more sun and warmth with highs near 76°F, continuing the gradual climb. By Tuesday, the mercury hits 82°F before peaking Wednesday at 85°F under bright, dry skies. No rain is in sight until Friday, when showers and thunderstorms may break the summer streak.
Despite the calm pattern, health officials recommend hydration and limited outdoor activity during peak afternoon hours—especially for older adults and outdoor workers. While air quality remains good, lingering smoke from Canadian wildfires may return early next week, particularly during calm overnight hours.
Looking ahead, Thursday’s high will hover near 87°F before Friday’s potential rain returns. This warm, dry June stretch offers a textbook summer preview—but with rising temps, staying weather-aware remains key.
Summer-style heat continues through midweek. The next weather alert could arrive Friday as thunderstorms return.
