Blacksburg, Virginia – Calm weather dominates Virginia through Tuesday, with dry conditions stretching from Roanoke to Lynchburg and across much of the region. According to the National Weather Service in Blacksburg, high pressure remains firmly in place early this week, limiting any rainfall to a few light afternoon showers over the North Carolina and Virginia mountains. Residents in cities like Blacksburg, Martinsville, and Wytheville can expect comfortable, mostly sunny afternoons with little weather disruption.
However, changes are on the horizon as moisture starts moving back into the area by Wednesday. Rain chances will ramp up midweek, especially across the New River Valley and foothills, bringing periods of showers and isolated storms through late week. Travel should be unaffected early in the week, but those in higher elevations or near the North Carolina border should keep an umbrella handy by Wednesday.
Stay off slick roads during any heavier showers, and keep an eye on local alerts as thunderstorm potential increases late week. Additional advisories may be issued if rainfall totals climb or stronger storms develop.
Warnings and updates will be posted as needed through Wednesday and beyond.
