Blacksburg, Va. – Southwest Virginia is settling into a classic September stretch of crisp mornings and bright afternoons, ideal for fall routines. Drivers should prepare for cooler pre-dawn temperatures, which may bring patchy fog along Route 460 and surrounding valleys through midweek.
According to the National Weather Service in Blacksburg, Tuesday will stay sunny with highs near 70, while nighttime lows dip into the upper 40s. Winds remain light, but chilly mornings may challenge commuters waiting at bus stops or walking across the Virginia Tech campus.
The warming trend builds by Wednesday with highs reaching the mid-70s. Nights stay cool, hovering around 50, so residents may want light jackets for evening events or early classes. By Thursday and Friday, daytime highs climb toward the upper 70s, signaling a pleasant close to the workweek.
Outdoor plans look favorable across Montgomery County, from hiking in Pandapas Pond Recreation Area to tailgates near Lane Stadium. Still, cool nights mean campers should pack extra layers.
