Blacksburg, VA – After a chilly start to the weekend, Blacksburg residents can expect a noticeable warming trend starting today. Highs will climb from the low 40s to 50 degrees by midweek, offering a welcome reprieve from recent frigid conditions.
According to the National Weather Service, Sunday will feature partly sunny skies with highs around 42 degrees and calm winds. Monday will see even warmer conditions, reaching 43 degrees, with gusts up to 20 mph in the afternoon. Overnight lows will remain in the upper 20s, so frost could still be a concern for early risers.
Tuesday’s forecast promises the warmest day of the week, with sunny skies and highs nearing 48 degrees. By Wednesday, temperatures will approach 51 degrees, making it an ideal day for outdoor activities. However, patchy clouds Wednesday night may signal cooler air moving back into the region by Thursday, with highs dropping slightly to the upper 30s.
Residents are encouraged to enjoy the warm-up but remain cautious of slick morning conditions caused by frost. Travelers on Route 460 and nearby roads should use caution during early hours when visibility may be reduced.
