BlizzardNole Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 It seems like more than ever some places get huge rains while others get very little. It is really weird. I was hoping this one would be more spread out but nope, all the heavy stuff is just to my east and southeast and can't get here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDM Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 2.30" so far here NW of Vienna. Lawyers road is likely closed again. Hunter Mill may also be closed. This amount is around the normal threshold for closure. Looks like the western fringe is starting to pivot through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summer rains tend to be a lot more localized, so some folks get hammered while others stay drier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronTy Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 It's ruthless down here. 2" overnight and probably close to a other inch from the current blob of rain with a large area of action incoming. Very tropical, reminds me of when I spent a month in Borneo, but that rain was always in the afternoon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I don’t think there’s anything to be made from the disparity other than the fact that in summer you have tremendous available moisture much of the time. So when it does rain, it can rain a lot, quickly. If you happen to get it, you get a lot. When you don’t, you don’t. It’s pretty much luck of the draw. Being on the lee side of the mountains out here probably hurts some, but by and large I think it’s just luck or lack thereof. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I thought by getting out of stephens city and the shadow of North Mountain I'd left this nonsense behind. But this place is even worse.

My experience is the the nw part of the county is the typical hotspot for thunderstorms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
