Absolute soaking in Albemarle/Charlottesville probably over 1 inch already...

Quick little storm.... Definitely had a bit of wind ... 0.26 0.28 monthly total now...

Only 0.02 for the month to date.... following a big July.. Grass looks the best its looked in a couple months though, brown moldy spots disappearing... Streams coming out of the southern National Park in both eastern Augusta and western Albemarle are running very low though - especially since its August and everything is still green/growing and using water...

Looking at these 0Z models, except the GFS... That would be problematic to say the least.. A repeat of last September simply wouldn't be good.. Except for Debby in August ( some creeks were dry again 3 weeks later ) - the major drought kept widespread problems along the main rivers to a minimum although some local spots had significant smaller creek flood damage....

Going back to August 1st last year when the tropics with Debby started to change things down here... Despite some dry months over the last 12 months - huge difference from the previous 12 months.. August 2023 to July 2024 --- 29.25 August 2024 to July 2025 --- 49.47 Last 6 months 23.37 Same period last year. 11.25 Overall much better than the past 2 years....

0.66 today Monthly total 6.82..

Looks like the classic Charlottesville area beat down incoming... Very high rainfall rates south of town at work... FFWs already popping...

0.62 earlier , Very strong winds for a couple of minutes... 3 day total of 1.10 Up to 6.16 for the month so far.. Much better by almost 3 inches over June..

Just managed to get clipped by the very southwestern edge - the last 1/5 of a mile of the storm... Got 0.23 in the gauge....

One heck of a powerful storm just to my north by a mile , Stormy should be getting rocked... Just drove through it at least 2 inches had to have fallen in spots...

Just got home, picked up about 0.25 at some point this late afternoon/evening....

They had been numerous the past 2 years down here in northern Waynesboro... For whatever reason the past 2 years they would swarm and sit on the siding on the south facing wall...Too fast to kill unless you spray something.... However the numbers in my yard have been down this year so far...

Impressive indeed, but am i reading/understanding that graph wrong ? Too much work must be frying my brain - Or too much alcohol after work , Is College Park semi arid...? Is this a new recording station ? 1976 to 2025 ?

Was a unique storm that's for sure... Only 0.03 since that one... radar currently looks okay but im not at home to know for sure....

Nasty cell at work in Charlottesville.. Not getting out of the work vehicle in this...
