Sunny Skies Continue into Saturday, Rain Returns by Sunday

Temperatures to climb into the 50s before wet weather arrives this weekend.

Published on Feb. 13, 2026

The sunny and mild weather that has been enjoyed in the Lynchburg, Virginia area will continue into Saturday, with highs reaching the mid-50s. However, clouds will increase on Saturday ahead of a storm system that will bring heavy rain showers on Sunday, potentially adding up to an inch of rainfall to the existing snowpack.

Why it matters

The incoming rainfall will help to melt the remaining snowpack and ease the ongoing drought conditions in the region, though the area is still in need of more precipitation to fully recover.

The details

Friday's weather will be a near carbon copy of Thursday, with plenty of sunshine and highs around 50 degrees. Overnight lows will drop to the 20s one more time before warmer temperatures arrive for the weekend. Saturday will see increasing cloud cover ahead of the approaching storm system, with highs reaching the mid-50s. The storm system will then bring heavy rain showers on Sunday, potentially adding up to an inch of rainfall to the existing snowpack.
