Very impressed with the models tonight - especially the NAM , which has been consistently showing tonight's heavy rain centered over the Waynesboro - Charlottesville corridor....Just about to another two inches tonight ! Extreme 2 weeks ... !
Very intense rain falling again. Approaching 1.3 inches again... This is an extreme 2 weeks - Approaching anything that I ever witnessed either in western Albemarle growing up in the " holler " or as a adult in Waynesboro....
I know there were some higher totals on the slopes yesterday but that was the most impressive high water rises - 2.5 to 3 inch event I can ever recall...
This obviously would not good for Augusta / Nelson / Albemarle Counties.... Didn't think I would be saying this but the ground is so moist down here 0.50 would cause some issues ... Reminds me of the last 2 weeks of June 95 except nobody here has picked up the 30 inches that Madison County got in that event... However I have picked up 10.4 in the last 13 days and there are some higher totals around...
South River in Waynesboro is at its highest since Sept 2018 ,Florence remnants... Downtown may have some issues tonight... Heavy showers continue around the mts.
Soaking rain tonight .... Very loud cloud to ground lightning....
Up to 1.30 the last 2 hours - really could not get hardly any meaningful rainfall between Feb and July , now over 14 in 6 weeks...
0.51 for the event so far ....
12.74 since August 7 - despite only being a few legitimate wet days in those 6 weeks... By far the best stretch in some time down here....Could have used some of this between Mar & July....
Right at 3.70 with several early morning storms , drizzle now..
Very rainy night down here..I realized early on as a kid , early morning thunder storms in the mts down here usually means a soaking overall storm system...
Very rainy night so far down here either side of the Blue ridge , between Waynesboro and Charlottesville.. Upsloping definitely kicking in with this latest band.... Sitting in the jeep for about 30 min listening to the pounding on the roof despite just getting home from work.... The wife is asleep so I would rather listen to this then go inside...
