Blacksburg, VA – High pressure continues to build into Virginia, providing dry and quiet conditions across the region today. A gradual warm-up will bring temperatures above normal, with highs expected to reach the low 70s in the Piedmont and the mid-60s in the mountains. However, a shift in the weather pattern is expected by Tuesday.
According to the National Weather Service, a cold front will approach Virginia late Tuesday, bringing the possibility of rain showers and thunderstorms. These storms will primarily impact areas west of the Blue Ridge, where the front will stall, keeping rain chances in the forecast through the rest of the week.
For now, travel conditions remain favorable, but those in the western parts of the state, including the mountains and counties near the Blue Ridge, should prepare for rain and potential storms on Tuesday. The Piedmont will experience warm, sunny conditions with temperatures reaching the low to mid-80s by the end of the day.
As we move toward midweek, it’s important to monitor local weather updates, as the potential for increased rain and storm activity could bring disruptions. The National Weather Service will continue to provide updated forecasts, with further advisories possible as the week progresses.
