Nearly four inches of rain fell on Sugarloaf Mountain

For the 36 hours ending Thursday morning, 3.88 inches of rain fell on Sugarloaf Mountain in Southwest Roanoke County.

That wasn’t the heaviest rainfall in the Roanoke Valley, but it was close. Glade Creek in Botetourt County measured 4.8 inches.

Some areas east of the Blue Ridge, most in Henry County and Franklin County, got more, though — more than 8 inches at Jones Creek in Henry County.

Weather journalist Kevin Myatt has the final totals on his Weather Journal blog.
