Blacksburg, Va. – A dry weekend across Virginia will give way to unsettled weather starting Tuesday as a coastal low develops, bringing scattered showers back into the region. The highest rain chances will be east of the Blue Ridge, while western areas may only see spotty activity.
According to the National Weather Service in Blacksburg, dry conditions will hold steady through Monday with temperatures in the upper 70s to low 80s. By Tuesday, moisture from the low-pressure system will push inland, raising the chance of showers to 30% in eastern counties such as Halifax and Appomattox. Western areas, including Giles and Montgomery counties, will likely remain drier with lower chances of rain.
Travelers on U.S. 460 and I-81 should expect mostly dry conditions through Monday, but those driving toward Richmond and Tidewater by Tuesday may encounter wet roads and brief delays. Commuters should plan for slower travel and keep umbrellas handy through midweek.
Showers are expected to linger into Wednesday before tapering off by Thursday as drier air returns. Additional updates may be issued if the low strengthens or shifts westward.
