After watching storm after storm after storm pop up and slip by the house by a couple miles each time, I guess nature decided to throw us a bone. We didn’t get the severe gully washers that really cleaned out the roadside ditches along 460 & 114 near C’burg, but we at least got something. It was kind of weird to see those storms firing up to severe levels on the Radar last night several hours after sunset.

I have been watching the radar with one eye, and looking north with the other. Purdy rough storm. Near the mall we had a cloud burst right over our head about 5 pm, this got the South tail of this one about 11 PM . Surely over an inch total. Nice cool breeze . . .

Wed, 01 Aug 2012 02:42:51 +0000 http://blogs.roanoke.com/weatherjournal/?p=23153#comment-37234 watching a t-storm headed over Blacksburg right now and hoping it will drop some rain on us. NWS just issued a severe t-storm warning for northern Montgomery co. (along with parts of Giles and Craig). Don’t want wind but would love some rain. We have the windows open listening to the thunder off in the distance along with a rousing chorus of katydids. Beautiful night!

You felt like you could reach up and touch the planes as they went by.

But then as I drove home and got closer to the Doppler it became drier and drier. Only a couple more hours for a chance to get some more rain for this month. Watching the storms coming out of WVA but not holding my breath that we will get any.

Iridium flares – yep, have seen a few of those out here too.

on the WVA border west of Roanoke..
activity north has made a North Northeasterly
migration…southern remnant is dying somewhat
and drifting over far East Tenn and Wstrn Carolina.
Huge dry slot gap developing west of u guys. in ROA Vly.

good soak for the watershed.

looks like upslope…very little eastward progress….ccfp shows
it largely dying out early in evening…hope some of it holds together.

Likely why there are flash flood warnings. Looks like a heavy cell moving into western/southern parts of Roanoke Valley.
