Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Blacksburg VA 710 PM EST Mon Dec 15 2025
SYNOPSIS
Dry conditions, along with a warming trend, expected through Wednesday. A strong front will approach from the west on Thursday, resulting in the next chance of precipitation for the region. A brief cool down behind the front on Friday, followed by warm and dry conditions into early next week.
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/
As of 707 PM EST Monday...
No notable changes are expected for the ongoing forecast for the overnight hours. Have made only minor tweaks to better reflect current conditions and expected trends into the early morning hours of Tuesday.
As of 130 PM EST Monday...
Key Messages:
1) Dry and sunny, still cold.
2) Warmer temperatures expected on Tuesday.
Very cold morning lows have been slow to warm over the past several hours. However, full sun today has allowed for temperatures to bump into the mid 20s in the mountains and mid 30s in the east. Should have at least another couple hours of warming before temperatures fall again overnight into the teens and 20s.
Less wind today has eased any wind chill concerns and winds should remain light overnight, except for the higher elevations across southeast West Virginia where some enhancement from a quick-moving shortwave and resultant increased low level jet. With that said, gusts only into the 20 MPH range are expected.
Less influence from the trough on Tuesday as it exits further east into the Atlantic and heights begin to rise over the eastern US.
This will result in warming temperatures into the mid to low 40s by the afternoon. Sunny skies expected again, with light winds.
SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/
As of 145 PM EST Monday...
Key Messages:
1) Significant warm-up for mid-week before a cold front arrives Thursday.
2) Dry conditions expected until showers arrive with the front.
A notable warming trend is forecast for mid-week, driven by a shift in the upper-level flow. As the pattern becomes more zonal and the surface high tracks offshore, southwest winds will favor warm air- advection, temperatures trending above-normal. High temperatures both Wednesday and Thursday in the 50s.
In general expecting dry conditions until the arrival of a cold front Thursday
Showers are anticipated along the front
spreading from west to east across the forecast area Thursday afternoon and evening. Post-frontal cold air intrusion will follow swiftly Thursday night. In the mountains, this temperature drop, combined with increasing gusty winds, is expected to transition any lingering precipitation to snow showers or flurries early Friday morning
Attm
QPF looks to be on the order of 0.25 to 0
50
falling mostly as rain. Confidence is low for any snow accumulation.
LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/
As of 145 PM EST Monday...
Key Messages:
1) Chilly and Windy Friday.
2) Temperatures rebound Saturday.
3) Chance of showers Sunday.
The workweek closes with a brisk, post-frontal pattern. A gusty northwest wind will be notable Friday morning as a cold front clears the East Coast. While clouds and scattered flurries may linger briefly across the mountains Friday morning, they should dissipate by afternoon as high pressure builds across the forecast area.
Temperatures will be noticeably colder...about 5 degrees cooler than the seasonal norm.
The high should provide for dry conditions going into the weekend with model consensus for a weak front to cross the forecast area Sunday. Attm it appears the best chance for showers associated with Sunday's front will be west of the Blue Ridge with activity drying up as it crosses the mountains.
Temperatures are forecast to rebound this weekend with highs back in the 50s. No hazardous weather is expected.
AVIATION /00Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/
As of 613 PM EST Monday...
VFR expected throughout the entire 24 hour TAF period.
Low level wind shear is expected during the overnight across parts of the mountains as a strong westerly low level jet increases across the region, with surface wind speeds trending lighter. This will be reflected at KBLF and KBCB for roughly a three to six hour window. Once the jet passes, sustained surface winds at KBLF are likely to be in the 7 to 10 kt range through the night and into Tuesday.
Confidence in the above aviation scenario is high.
EXTENDED AVIATON OUTLOOK
VFR expected through Wednesday. Rain chances increase areawide Thursday which could bring sub- VFR cigs/vsbys, with rain/snow showers Thu night. Drier Friday with VFR.
