Lol. Looking at radar from work near CHO... My backyard got completely skipped by a near solid line that developed a hole just before getting to Waynesboro... Time to see what the 2nd line may do.. Honestly the radar dosent seem as widespread as I thought it might be..

0.02 today for a three day total of flood watches of 0.03... Never seen that before.. Not that we need rain - got slammed Sunday - monthly total approaching 4.50... Remain torn on these daily flood watches , there is no doubt that where these storms in this moist atmosphere set up-fast and significant flash flooding can occur.. We haven't reached the technical ability yet to pinpoint exactly where that will be - like identical supercells out in the plains - one might produce a significant tornado but the other dosent... However there is no doubt that any tornado watch out west will be taken much more seriously than a flood watch around here.. However to the average person - non weather fanatic who knows nothing about the details , daily flood watches showing up on phone weather apps without a large synoptic or tropical system that's all over the news or social media kind of creates a yeah ok whatever attitude......

Surprisingly picked up 1.21 earlier today... From a cell in western Albemarle that started back building to the northern edge of Waynesboro... Usually that will happen in the southern part of town along or south of 64 with nothing up here...

And there is the first ffw of the day for Nelson County...Can certainly hear the rumbling thunder....

Most of the rain has been stolen by Nelson / Albemarle Counties the past week... Lol its astonishing how many storm clusters have repeatedly developed there night and day lately... Multiple ffw the past few days... Look at the radar another huge cluster over the same place already !

Sitting on my front porch can see a nice lightning display and hear some faint thunder from another flash flood warned storm across Afton in Nelson County near or just east of the Wintergreen area....

Im beginning to believe that my backyard and yours cannot both do well in the same time period during thunderstorm season... I've already matched June down here so far in July... Most of my June rainfall came in two individual thunderstorms...

Just got home from work to a surprisingly nice 0.50 from a tstorm cluster that popped up.... The best year for thunderstorm rainfall here in my backyard in the past few years...

Not surprised a warning got issued..Definitely was a quick 1 to 2+ inches.. lakes in some yards , roadside ditches overflowing... Charlottesville area always seems to be a tstorm hotspot..

Another day another crashing downpour in the Charlottesville area that I get paid to ride around in...

0.25 for the day... 2.66 for the month...

I believe it, back into Charlottesville now and into a deluge... Didn't take long for the 250 bypass to flood..

Yeah im near the CHO airport for work... constant thunder and drizzle here.. Can see the storm out toward Crozet, the clouds are simply not moving....

Another 0.65 from a thunderstorm this afternoon ..... Easily the best tstorm rainfall season I've experienced in some years down here... Usually we do not do thunderstorm rain well here but this year has definitely been different..

A few raindrops falling , must be some larger ones - can hear them hitting leaves... A light breeze..

1.70 - More than a inch fell at some point late over night or very early this morning...

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 ...
