  1. Don't want no damage path of any type with this storm system , but we desperately need a steady soaking in the central Shenandoah Valley of VA .... 1.81 in my backyard since August 1st.... severe drought designation now by Noaa...
  2. That's about what I picked up in western Albemarle from Fran, received more from Fran than Isabel 7 years later... although I think there was a 20 inch total somewhere near Montebello Blue Ridge Parkway during Isabel ...
  3. This weekend for us in the central valley will likely be the ultimate suckerpunch as we watch tropical rains move up I95.... Jan 1.53 Feb 3.09 Mar 1.39 Apr 3.63 May 1.48 Jun 5.10 Jul 2.73 Aug 0.56 Sep 1.25 Ytd. 20.76
  4. With the northern valley now getting more consistent rainfall , the drought bullseye seems to focusing on Augusta and Rockingham.... heavy rain to our west that won't move east , rain to our north and now heavy rain developing to our east and moving up 29 toward cville....
  5. Looks like another wet forecast down here that dosent materialize....Still have the afternoon to go but rain just seems to disappear just before it gets here... 0.03 and breezy here... Thankfully we got 1.25 last weekend ... 2.20 since July 20th...
  6. Drought warning issued for Augusta County , was wondering when that was coming.... Most places picked up at least a inch over the past 5 days- But outside of a few spots that are lucky with tstorms - widespread rain has been nonexistent since the end of June.. Now another prolonged period of dry weather coming up...
  7. 0.75 yesterday , a 3 day total of 1.20. Much needed , everything outside just seems a bit more refreshed and a touch greener this morning in the sunlight..
  8. Finally, finally , FINALLY ... A nice long band of rain over my area has been in place for about a hour , nothing extreme but it's over 0.60 so far today.....
  9. The ultimate challenge, can we we get some real rain out of this setup ? Rain completely around me ....
  10. Picked up 0.07 earlier today , looks to be about it down here , for a 3 day total of 0.45 .... The biggest rainfall event here since July 18 - 19 when 0.40 fell...
  11. Well dam , I guess I am now the epicenter of the drought.... 1.29 since July 20th.... lol. ...... Seriously though - glad you finally some solid rainfall !
  12. You ain't joking, that U shape has happened nearly everytime.... Even nws can't get it right, today was the first flood watch of the calender year down here, but the rain has obviously set up everywhere but the valley...
  13. Wow , simply amazing , it actually rained a bit .... 0.08 the last 5 weeks... 0.37 today !!!!
  14. That's usually my kind of results downhere....
  15. And as expected - never had a shot, a chance or a glimmer of hope ...
  16. Impressive no thunder lightning display off to my south right now... Almost nonstop lightning in the taller cloud tops that i can see from storms that are firing in the Lynchburg to Nelson county area... Can we break a now 5 week streak of only 0.08 here ? Probably not ...
  17. The last 28 days here I have measured a amazing 0.08 , Going back to July 20th roughly 45 or so days I have picked up 0.92 - Simply incredible...
  18. As expected the gradual move toward charlottesville occurred, finished a supposedly wet 3 day period with a final total of 0.03... 0.56 final August total.. For whatever reason - right now it does indeed appear that the northern half of the Valley simply can not recieve much or any precipitation....
  19. Cluster of showers developing in the southern valley where it's been alot wetter heading this way, will they make it ? Or will they fade just before they get here or just magically jump east for some reason toward hooville ?
  20. Picked up another 0.01 this evening - raises my monthly total to 0.56 Meanwhile the last 36 hours has seen heavy heavy rain and numerous warnings to our east , south , west , and northwest.. Almost like the letter U... With most of the Valley from northern Waynesboro up to Winchester being a desert in the middle of a rainforest...
  21. I saw your post then looked at the NAMs last night...I was thinking without a tropical or some cutoff low again my backyard may not see another 5 inches of total precip the rest of the year.. but I guess the model did get the totals right just 100 miles to our south and east
  22. Wow nearly a foot of rain south of Roanoke this morning unfortunately, some 3 inch totals in and around Charlottesville yesterday, and here well we wait...
  23. This certainly does appear to already be a cane, would be a shock if it's not upgraded at the next update... Interested to see what the incoming recon data shows.
  24. And the Charlottesville & eastern Albemarle soaking continues...I know the Rivanna River in Charlottesville has been super low, but it's not from the lack of rain within the city, it's from the lack of rain in it's headwaters...
