Blacksburg, VA – Fog drifts low over the Blue Ridge early this Sunday, wrapping the valley in a calm chill that won’t last for long. Clouds are thickening as a wetter pattern builds, promising a series of showers through midweek — just as Virginia prepares for a cooler, clearer Halloween stretch.
According to the National Weather Service, Sunday stays mostly cloudy with highs near 58°F. Light rain moves into the region late tonight, then turns more widespread by Monday afternoon. Expect scattered showers across Montgomery County, Christiansburg, and along Route 460 through Tuesday, with 60% chances of measurable rain at times. Gusts could reach 20 mph, making travel damp and slow, especially on rural roads and hilly routes.
By Wednesday, another wave of rain pushes through before drier, cooler air finally moves in. Highs will struggle to reach 50°F midweek, and lows near 40°F could bring patchy frost in valleys by Thursday night.
Trick-or-treat conditions Friday look seasonable — partly sunny skies, light winds, and evening temperatures near 48°F. Jackets or layers are recommended for kids heading out after sunset as that mountain air turns brisk quickly.
The weekend ahead looks brighter, with Saturday sunshine and highs near 64°F — a calm close to an active weather week. Still, meteorologists hint that colder systems could return early next month — an early sign of a chilly November ahead.
