Yeah didn't figure much of anything fell there again... Radar looked good as usual coming from the SW but as always this year - it fell apart leaving Rockbridge coming into southern Augusta ...
Would be nice !
You still beat my yard - haven't had 3 total combined since the May 18th downpour , yard is kinda green alittle bit now thanks to 1 storm last week...
Very heavy wind driven rain crossing Afton going toward cville... Missed my yard of course by under a mile... Reckon I will have to deal with it again in alittle bit if it holds together - At work riding around cville now..
Yeah it's a bit disheartening to see most of this week's predicted higher rainfall totals to not get much farther NE than the Blacksburg NWS coverage area at the moment....
Our area of Eastern Augusta and northern Waynesboro most certainly needed those 2 storms last evening and they seemed to have also given the southern Shenandoah Nat Park and extreme western Albemarle a good dousing which was as dry as us...
Got home from work & again anxiously checked the rain gauge like so many times before , knowing once again the radar looked kind of good earlier - which usually equates to a few hundredths here....
Literally stunned to see 0.83
By far the most rain since May 18th considering I hadn't come close to 2 inches total since then..
They must have sobered up , flood watch canceled for Valley areas.... nice solid rain again Lexington and southern valley solid rain Afton to Charlottesville , but as always basically nothing from Waynesboro to Winchester ...
It's a disaster there, Im not at home - at work in Charlottesville and of course its a deluge but I'm sure there is nothing in the gauge at home... radar this summer when it shows yellows in other areas it's a downpour but when reds pass over my area it's a few hundredths....
Huh ? A flood watch ? No way somebody in Sterling must be drinking on the job ... Don't they realize northern Waynesboro is the 2nd driest locale east of the Mississippi ? Approaching 70 days now since May 18th with well under 2 inches total precip... Only 0.58 for July... willing to bet nothing really changes this evening...
Thanks ! It will only be a shell of itself when it gets there probably... Over in Cville for work. Where there was some 3 inch totals over here this morning...
Dam it , so dam close to a shower complex we can smell that rain scent, but it may as well be in Amarillo... Maybe Stormy is getting some rainfall tonight...
That radar look isn't matching the ground truth.. While it is damp between Waynesboro and Cville - I'm in Cville on my work route and the pavement under the trees isn't wet .. But I have to go down to near Petersburg in alittle bit - And I'm sure I'll see more rain down there than my yard has seen in more than the last 2 months combined...
No idea, Currently at work over north of Cville...It was about a quarter inch here and a couple ctg lightening strikes... Nobody is home at the moment to ask..
Yeah I do believe that your backyard and mine these last few years are meant for nothing other than only growing summer cacti....And my backyard may be reaching the point of being too dry to even grow a cactus...
Only joint in Waynesboro that didn't get a good soaking earlier yeah the NW corner yup my yard.... 0.09 brings my monthly total to a pointless 0.16
On the other hand 2 to 3 inches fell in southern Augusta a few miles away which in return will help the South River which will help the Shenandoah a tiny bit...
