I was shocked that night when I looked at radar. It wasn't supposed to hit us. I see a monster wall of white racing NW into the metro area. Cloudy and a tolerable 82 degrees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we've had a light but steady rain for the past two hours. And I'll take it...especially because my bride and I finished all of the mowing/trimming/blowing, like, FIVE minutes before the light rain moved in. Currently 77/73, still with light rain...and not that bad out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Oh look. The same places in VA are getting more rain today than my area has had since May. Astonishing how rain dries up as it approaches the area for the since May. My gut says we stay dry until September at the earliest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're still dry in September it will only get worse without tropical contribution. Historically, September and October are very dry without tropical contribution because the thunderstorm season is over........................... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know we'll get a tropical remnant but it will miss us to the south and hit the same places south of us that have been initiated all summer lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Who thinks we really get some decent rains this week?

high risk Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 2 hours ago, snowfan said: Euro, gfs, Canadian are all in agreement as of this morning re: us getting rain tmrw. The signals there are encouraging for sure, and it's indicative of a chance of beneficial rains for a larger part of the area that's higher than we've seen in a while. The worry, though, is that these are the low-res models that aren't suited for capturing mesoscale details, and the CAMs show that despite what looks like a soaking for everyone in the global models, this will still be an event with winners and losers. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
