Missed the heaviest rain in blacksburg, but down near the stadium has had 4” or more and flooding occurred. Guessing I have half that despite being only a mile and a half away.
Also: poor planning for the game.
Does anyone know what’s going on with that super warm blob in the TT Sea Surface Temperature map in the North Atlantic view? Underwater volcano or something?
I admit, I didn’t look at the NAM too closely after your original post. I wasn’t sure if there was some bias/bug thing the 3k NAM does sometimes. If the numbers it was showing verified somewhere, then cool! I haven’t been looking at weather stuff much at all except for in class when we look at the models and stuff.
I don’t think the two really compare that much. There might be elements of this that are truly once in a lifetime. Perhaps not wind, but rainfall as you mentioned.
Interesting looking storm approaching me down here near Richmond. Perhaps it will bring some rain.
Edit: Got a quick soak and some breeze. Storms feel more intense when you’re surrounded by trees
Seems like it’s the usual pattern recently with the NC stuff, and the little bit of northern-ish VA stuff leaving a gap around richmond. I’ll wait a bit longer to be sure though.
Reached 85ish here, not as bad as previous weeks. Hoping for some rain tomorrow, but if the 3k NAM is to be believed (ha, no.), it will be another miss. I like what the HRRR is showing though!
