Temperatures are set to rise 20 degrees above average on Friday, reaching into the low 70s under mostly sunny skies. This unusually warm stretch will provide a brief break from seasonal chill, but rain showers could dampen plans by the end of the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service, today’s warm and partly sunny conditions will persist through Friday and Saturday, bringing highs around 71°F on Friday and 63°F on Saturday.

Rainfall totals for the Blacksburg area are predicted to be around 0.25 to 0.5 inches through Sunday night.

Looking ahead, Monday promises drier, mostly sunny conditions with a high near 68°F.
