Wednesday evening's resurgence of rain along the Blue Ridge pushed Roanoke's official storm total over 4 inches, as a heavy downpour moved through the Roanoke Valley shortly after 8 p.m. Thursday looks to be a showery day, with maybe even some afternoon thunderstorms, especially if the sun manages to make an appearance. Moisture is still quite thick as the fading remainder of Fay's circulation whirls to our west, pulling up yet more moisture on south winds. Don't expect the widespread heavy rain like we got on Wednesday, but almost everyone will see some rain on Thursday, and a few places could see a lot of rain in a short time. A cold front on Friday will finally bounce Fay out of the way, but not before bringing another chance of showers and thunderstorms. We might see a few dry days late in weekend and early next week as we watch Gustav take aim on the Gulf Coast ... and possibly another tropical system flirting with the East Coast.

Below in the extended entry are official storm total rainfall amounts through 9 p.m. Wednesday:
