I think we finally got a round in my yard after missing the first 2 rounds earlier... ill see when I get home.. Definitely over here in Northern Albemarle into Green there is going to be some big totals...

3.21 for June here...

Things are returning to normal here too.! 0.64 since Friday June 13th..

Now they canceled the flood watch early, a massive almost nonstop lightning display is developing just to my SW ... hopefully these storms can hold together a few more miles to the NE - probably not but it would be nice...

Nice refreshing late June day after the heat this week... NWS is a jinx for us this month, today was the 3rd flood watch to go with yesterday's warning --- for a total of 0.13 on those 4 days...

Was under a flood warning earlier today with a still dry gauge... only 0.19 in the last 13 days with this week's high temperatures - things are starting to get a bit dry again down this way....

Interesting, Under a flash flood warning, but so far only a few sprinkles at my place.... Afton definitely getting slammed..

Only 0.09 on the day.. Monthly total 2.78.... Did get a couple nice pics driving home west of Charlottesville on 64 in weakening showers into the setting sun.... Raindrops looking like Christmas lights in the sun...

Home from work finally... Relaxing on the front porch ... Definitely can see lightening far to the north, must be the new cells popping SW of Winchester in Eastern WV... 3rd flood watch of the past 4 days here with a grand total of 0.12 since Friday night... But watching more important lightning in my yard -- fireflies !!!! Not many , nothing like years gone by like the 80s 90s - but more than recently ...

1.22 here.... Most of my weather data from 07 [ when I moved to northern Waynesboro from western Albemarle ] to Sept 2020 is gone - so I dont know how many , but this has got to be one of the very few times since moving here that 2 thunderstorms within a week dropped over a inch. We rarely get a half inch in my backyard from any single tstorm.. Tropical rain we do well - thunderstorm rain we do not.. Much different this year than the past 3 years by the middle of June...

Legitimately got surprised overnight, probably the best thunderstorm in a year or 2 here ... 1.25

Steady light rain has developed in the 25 min... Nothing major in the rain so far..... But significant occasional redish lightning with long lasting rolling thunder has developed...

Alot of rain seems to have fallen south of 64 the last 24 hours , southern Augusta / Stuarts Draft into Rockbridge.. Which seems to be the convective pattern down here the last 3 years - hence the crushing spring - mid summer Valley droughts the last couple years have been Waynesboro northward.... .09 last 24 hours here... Another cluster just popped in the same area... Thankfully the large synoptic events this spring have been a nice change...

At least 1.5 to maybe 2 in northern Albemarle near the airport...That was a very tropical downpour, some angry small creeks..

Beautiful mostly clear blue skies with lower humidity and of course gusty winds down here in Charlottesville... Haven't seen anything down here... When Charlottesville dosent get the rains that's when you know it was a total bust down in these parts... Did receive about .15 earlier at home in Waynesboro for a monthly total of almost exactly 6.50...
