End of rain is in sight

The persistent area of rain that has dominated our weather for three days is starting to shift east. The flood watch has been lifted. We'll continue to see drizzle and showers in the New River and Roanoke valleys the next few hours, but the bulk of the rain is now east of the Blue Ridge. I would not be surprised if the rain ends by midnight in Roanoke. The weekend may really be pretty as a cold front sweeps out the moisture and sunshine returns.

I'll have some updated totals later this evening. Snow Creek in Franklin County has reached 10 inches. Most rainfall amounts in Southwest and Southside Virginia are 3 to 6 inches.
