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...

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...
