This Isn't Enough

Believe it or not, we still need more rain. Even though it has rained for the past four days, it hasn't amounted to much. At least it has put a dent in the deficit. Here is how we now stand for the year:

Rain Returns

At least it was dry for the first half of today...hope you enjoyed it! Showers are back and will linger into tonight and very early tomorrow morning. Most of central VA will pick up roughly a quarter to a half inch more rain from this system.

Areas of Dense Fog Monday Morning

After all the beneficial rainfall this weekend, there is plenty of moisture around early Monday morning to create fog, with light winds and low clouds. Most visibilities are better than a mile, but there are areas of denser fog in the region. Be especially aware of it in the Southeastern quarter of the state this morning. During your commute this morning, reduce your speed, allow extra distance between vehicles, and keep your headlights on the low beam setting.

The next round of rain will move into the Commonwealth by late morning, and showers will continue through the evening. Rain will gradually taper off from West to East Monday night.
