Virginia – Calm skies and mild air greet Blacksburg this morning, but a fast-moving spring system is already lining up to bring wet roads and shifting temperatures by late Sunday. Early drivers enjoy dry pavement now, though that window is closing.
According to the National Weather Service in Blacksburg, conditions stay mostly sunny through today with highs near 71°F. The pattern shifts Sunday night as a 40% chance of showers develops after 2 a.m., with light rainfall beginning to dampen roads.
Sunday turns warmer, reaching near 81°F under mostly sunny skies. That warmth helps fuel incoming moisture, and clouds increase late in the day. By evening, expect spotty showers to begin, especially along US-460 and surrounding Montgomery County roads.
Rain continues into Monday morning, with a 30% chance of showers and highs near 60°F. Roads may stay slick during the early commute, particularly on bridges and shaded curves. Winds could gust up to 22 mph, adding to driving challenges.
By Monday night, temperatures drop sharply to around 31°F. Any lingering moisture may refreeze, creating isolated icy patches early Tuesday. This is a classic flash freeze setup, especially on untreated surfaces.
Tuesday brings sunshine but cooler air, with highs near 55°F. Conditions stabilize briefly before another round of scattered showers returns by midweek.
Plan for changing conditions late Sunday into Monday morning. Keep an eye on wet roads and potential icy spots into Tuesday. Are you noticing the warm air shifting in your area yet?
