James River Below Flood Stage

The James River in Richmond reached its peak early Monday afternoon before falling back below minor flood stage at about 4:30 a.m. Tuesday. River levels should continue to drop the rest of this week, as we are expected to remain dry in the Commonwealth into the weekend.
The next chance for rain in Virginia arrives late Sunday afternoon and evening, and will continue into Monday as a strong cold front sweeps eastward.

James River Experiencing Minor Flooding

Minor flooding about a foot above flood stage continues Monday morning along the James River in Richmond. River levels should peak late Monday before falling gradually below flood stage late Tuesday.
Richmond officially picked up 2.43" of rain from Thursday through Sunday. The low pressure system responsible for our multiple rounds of rain will slowly track away from the Mid-Atlantic Coast Tuesday, taking the cloud-cover and rain with it. Our next chance for rain will not arrive until next Sunday.

Update On The James River

It looks like the James will crest about a foot above flood stage tomorrow evening. It should then drop below flood stage by Tuesday evening. Luckily it looks like the chances for rain will be very slim after tomorrow.
