Rainfall Overnight, Showers Friday

As a cold front moved through the state overnight, some heavy rain fell in spots, especially from the Farmville to Petersburg areas and southward into Southeastern Virginia. Most places picked up less than half an inch, but a few spots picked up 1" to 2", based on radar estimates. Here are some estimates:
Farmville: 1.4"
Petersburg/Colonial Heights: 2.4"
Portsmouth: 1.6"
Williamsburg: 1.1"
Charlottesville: 0.8"
Victoria: 0.6"
Richmond: 0.5"

Scattered showers will continue to move into Central Virginia Friday morning, but should wind down from North to South Friday afternoon.
