That video isn’t from this year. I think it was actually on the Corrotoman River on July 4th, 2022.

It can be impossible to see tornadoes when they are rain wrapped during the day, and it’s especially hard at night. We don’t have a ton of storm chasers constantly out watching around here with trees and terrain. If the rule were to wait for the radar to show it’s picking up debris, then it’s already doing damage and by the time the radar has actually scanned it, and the warning is issued, someone may have had no warning and potentially has been injured or worse. I don’t see why it’s an issue to go to safety and come back uninjured and resume life as normal. I also don’t know what technology we have if any currently that can change the need for caution besides maybe radar improvements which I hope are coming like phased array.

Some slopvection keeps appearing overhead which I imagine will ruin potential for later even though storms rarely do well after dark here.

3.26” across the river from 8am yesterday to 8am today. 82° now which would be great if the dewpoint weren’t 76.

Richmond has some impressive numbers at the airport. Wonder what will go into the report.

Despite being outside hours most days this year, i got my first mosquito bites today. Guess its been wet enough for them to come out.
-
Still a gross 90° with mid 70s dpts, but it’s good to get outside!
-
91°, dwpt 80, hoping it rains but I’m not convinced. Hard to tell with kakq being down.

Virginia Tech runs a few stations across the state, you can click through them here. At least one on Apple Orchard Mountain isn’t on there I believe. https://geography.vt.edu/weather-stations.html

Cooled off to 85, dewpoint 75. Watching storms go up to the SW.

I went outside at work and it was windy. Dust was flying everywhere from the gravel parking lot it brought me back to Kansas. Unfortunately I had to get back to work, but it did rain briefly! Now there’s some rumbly showers rolling through in a minute or two. It gusted 29mph at the local airport.
-
It was still 90.5° at 8:15, no rain today. Hopefully soon though.
-
How is it already 85° out? I think today will be day 15 of no rain too, so nothing to cool it off.
-
I think its going to stay just enough south that I miss out today. It’s the classic split that happens
-
It’s probably approaching 1.5” for the day around here. North and south maybe 2? I’m kind of between the heaviest but probably not too far behind.
