New Feature On SPC Website

I just found a new feature on the Storm Prediction Center's website. Now you can plot any severe weather storm report (tornado, wind, hail) for any time period dating back to 1950!

For instance, here is a map I created that plots all the tornadoes across the United States last year:

You can also zoom in on the map...here is Virginia:

Rain Totals From Loner Storm

One little storm dumped a lot of rain in Albemarle, Louisa and Orange counties this evening. The deep shades of blue indicate Doppler estimates of around 1.5" of rain!

Storm Continues To Trudge Eastward

The isolated thunderstorm has now moved into southern Orange and northern Louisa counties. It is still moving roughly E/NE at 10 mph. If it maintains its strength and track, it will move into Spotsylvania county in the next 45 minutes to an hour.
