Tuesday ended on a sunny note after lots of rain fell earlier in the week. The first part of Wednesday will be dry, but as the day wears on several weather features will come together, including the advancement of Tropical Depression 16, to the north. This combination will create widespread soaking rains once again for the Nelson area.

The projected path of TD-16 that will bring lots of tropical moisture into our area late Wednesday through Thursday.

By Wednesday afternoon rain showers will begin across the area, with increasing rains through the overnight hours into Thursday.

Right now the weekend looks nice with very fall like temps!

©2010 www.nelsolncountylife.com : Water drops off of this maple leaf in Greenfield after a nice soaking rain for the past couple of days.

Nelson County, Virginia
Rain will end later in the day Tuesday after dropping in excess of 3 inches in some locations across Nelson County since Sunday. Before the rain started most areas had received an inch or less of precipitation for the entire month. Heavy rains moved across Central Virginia prompting Flash Flood Watches in many counties. Temperatures struggled to make it out of the 60’s on Monday, but should recover nicely into the 70’s Tuesday with the return of some sunshine in the afternoon.

Another chance for rain returns Thursday, with much cooler temps by Sunday night into Monday of next week. Upper 30’s for overnight lows may happen up in the mountains by then.

Wintergreen Resort
Nelson County, Virginia
The final weekend of September was crammed full of events all over Nelson! The closer we get to October, the more events you will see unfold as the leaves begin their change to beautiful colors here in the Blue Ridge. A favorite up on the mountain at Wintergreen Resort is the Oktoberfest put on by Wintergreen Performing Arts. Our Mountain Photographer, Paul Purpura, stopped by and grabbed a few shots. We’re not sure if he grabbed a stein of beer too, but hope he got the chance!

In addition to traditional oom-pah band music, people got to try out local microbrewery beers.

The Oktoberfest was complete with its own Polize! Sort of!

People dropping by on Saturday go the chance to also feast on brats, wursts, German potato salad and kraut, along with American hot dogs and hamburgers.

Didn’t make it to the Oktobefest on the mountain? There’s plenty more happening all week long down in the valley. Both Blue Mountain Brewery and Devils Backbone Brewing will be hold Oktoberfest events for the entire week. You can see the specific events under out datebook section on the home page of www.nelsoncountylife.com. Scroll down to Datebook Events.
