Weather Journalwith Kevin MyattBlessed downpoursPosted Aug31, 2007 at 08:09 PMShowers and thunderstorms have been dumping some decent rains in parts of the Roanoke Valley this evening. I watched a gusty gullywasher in south Roanoke County about 7 p.m. only to return to a still-dry downtown. Now, it's raining here. It's still not the kind of widespread, general rain we need across the area, but maybe it's a good sign as we leave a hot and dry August behind and enter September. |
