Blacksburg, Virginia – A round of thunderstorms is expected to impact Montgomery County, Virginia, starting Sunday afternoon, with travel disruptions likely by 2 p.m. The day will begin with highs around 86°F, but unsettled skies will bring showers and storms, creating slippery roads and potentially delaying outdoor plans.
Thunderstorms Expected Sunday Afternoon

Travelers along US-460 and I-81 should be prepared for wet pavement and reduced visibility during the storms. Light winds and high humidity will also contribute to muggy conditions throughout the day.
