Rain Totals From Sunday


Sunday was definitely a wet one in all of Central Virginia while a low pressure system tracked over the state. Rain totals ranged 0.5" to 1.5" in the area, accounting for most of January's precipitation totals to date.
Richmond International Airport recorded 1.23" which set a new record rainfall for January 17th. The previous record was 1.11" set in 1978.
Another storm system will track through the region Thursday and Friday, bringing a round of rain. It does appear, though, that the higher rain totals will be to our south into the Carolinas and Georgia.
