You heard just a bit of the 2007-2008 NCHS Jazz Band at the top of our cast today. We just got our hands on their new CD and you’ll be hearing from them all week as we play a different cut each day. This group is fantastic! Stick around to hear more in just a few minutes.
The first weekend of summer was a pretty warm one. Though we didn’t have any very hot days, it did begin feeling more like summer. Both Saturday and Sunday, thunderstorms developed. A severe thunderstorm watch was in effect for much of the day and early evening. Not everyone got the thunderstorms, but where they developed some torrential rains and hail fell across the area. In northern Nelson near Afton over toward Batesville and Charlottesville, some of the heaviest precipitation fell.
Ann Strober of Nellysford grabbed a shot of developing thunderstorms in the weather photo above. You could see plenty of those puffy summertime storms all through the weekend.
Today won’t be much different than Sunday. We’ll see some thunderstorms redevelop during the day with a few of them becoming severe with large hail and damaging winds in some locations. Once the cold front makes it through the area, high pressure regains control of our weather giving us nice week ahead, but temperatures warming back to the 90’s for part of the week.

My mother in law states that her rain gauge had 3.5 inches in it after the
storms today. She checks it each day, Check around she might be right. I know
it rained like the dickens for over 45 minutes, could not see out the window.
