Sara Writes:
Monkeyclaus loves Robyn Winn! More More More..
Not a problem Sara, will do, at the end of today’s cast!
Tuesday ended up being a very nasty day toward dark as freezing rain settled in across the entire area. Very cold air became dammed up next to the mountains which allowed rain that fell late in the day to freeze on contact. That caused several accidents in Nelson and surrounding counties. Brent’s Mountain, which is notorious for freezing up in winter weather had several cars that could not make it up the mountain blocking the road. Other accidents occurred on U.S. 29 at Woods Mill. As the night wore on temperatures slowly started rising allowing the freezing rain begin turning to plain rain in some areas.
Wednesday look for rain in the morning, perhaps changing back to freezing rain or snow in the afternoon as temperatures begin a fall late in the day. By Wednesday night some light snow is possible as another burst of low pressure gets nearby. On the mountains an inch or two of snow is not out of the question by late Wednesday night. I can’t totally rule out some snow accumulation in the valley since this new low pressure area is forecast to form. I’ll keep an eye on that over the next few hours.

Thanks to John Taylor on Wintergreen Mountain for sending us today’s weather photo above. You have to look really hard, but off in the distance you can see that plume of smoke rising just above those tiny twigs about 10-15 miles from where John was shooting the picture. That’s near the Albermarle / Nelson line where some of the weekend’s forest and brush fires continued to burn. Appreciate John sending that one out to us.
Monday was a bright and sunny day but certainly a cold one. The heater didn’t have much luck getting plugged in! In the valley high temps only touched the 40 degree mark for a short time around 4 PM before dropping off quickly. Most of the day was spent in the low and mid 30’s.
A system is approaching Nelson and Central Virginia over the next 24-48 hours that will spread, first, a wintry for part of Tuesday, then a widespread rain event through most of Wednesday. Some areas started seeing light snow and flurries last night. Temps begin to warm up slightly by Thursday & Friday. By the holiday weekend another chance for a wintry mix could be back in the forecast at night.

One of Many Brush Fires Sunday in Nelson County
Afton, Virginia
Sunday’s High / Low at NCL-Nelson County Life Magazine in the Rockfish Valley : 13°/42°
Sunday’s High / Low at NCL-Wintergreen Nature Foundation on Devil’s Knob @ Wintergreen Mountain : 40°/24°
Sunday was a rock and roll day across Nelson County and much of Central Virginia. High winds and very dry conditions caused a major outbreak of brush and forest fires across the area. In all over 70 fires had been reported in Central Virginia and at least a dozen of those were in Nelson alone. After dark the winds finally began easing up, but remained gusty well into the overnight hours. Our NCL-Tiger Fuel Weathernet Station in Lovingston reported a 50 MPH wind gust around 1:30 PM Sunday. Up on the mountain at NCL-Wintergreen Nature Foundation Devil’s Knob, winds gusted frequently between 35-50 MPH.
Overnight lows bottomed out reaching the single digits in many locations. Monday will be a cold day only reaching the upper 30’s to near 40° in the valley and around 30° on the mountains. By mid week we moderate a bit with temps back in the upper 40’s to near 50° valley – and lower 40’s mountains. Rain is in the forecast Tuesday night, with a chance for rain/snow on the mountains.

NCL spoke with Nelson County Sheriff David Brooks late this evening and he says the only fire that is still actively being worked is the one on Laurel Road in the Shipman area. “You can still see some of the trees and stumps glowing, but no structures are involved and it’s contained in the wooded areas,” says Brooks. Many people that earlier had been evacuated from their homes have been allowed back in. Bulldozers have been making fire breaks to contain the fires and thus far seems to have been working.
More if the situation changes.
NCL
The majority of the fires across Nelson County are now mostly contained. Fire personnel are still on the scene and are still standing by for calls as of early evening, but the situation is improving dramatically.
At Martin’s Store near the intersection of Routes 6 & 151 One of the many brush and forest fires burning across Nelson County Sunday afternoon.
Over the past two to three hours afternoon every available fire and rescue unit in Nelson County, Virginia was called into service due to a major outbreak of brush and forest fires across the county. As we talked about in our forecast earlier, a Red Flag Warning was issued by the NWS for the likelihood of fires breaking out due to very high winds and low humidity across the area. There are some isolated areas of the county without electric power as well.
Our NCL-Tiger Fuel Weathernet Station in Lovingston has already recorded a 50 MPH wind gust this afternoon. Winds blowing in the 25-40 MPH range are common at many other NCL sites like NCL Wintergreen Nature Foundation on the mountain and NCL-Delfosse Winery & Vineyard in Faber. Many other stations are showing sustained winds in the 20-30 MPH range as well.
As of 5:37 PM EST here’s a list of active fires we know are being worked:
-Route 6 & 151 Martin’s Store – burning but under control
-Wheeler’s Cove – road blocked by downed power lines – fire crews having difficulty getting to scene
-Tye River near Nelson / Amherst Line – crews enrouteunder control
-Peavine Lane closed to all but fire personnel
-Laurel Road area – At 4:20 PM units on the scene report this fire involves 40-50 acres
-Major brush fire underway near Shipman in East Nelson County
-Reports of brush fire Route 626 in the vicinity of Howardsville
-5 Miles South of Roseland along Route 151 – Grass Fire – Units on scene extinguishing fire
-Hubbard’s Hill Lane tree across power line with fire – extinguished
-Roseland Road – tree on power line with fire – extinguished
-Browning’s Cove Road numerous fires reported in the area at 5:20 PM
Much of the activity near Laurel, Wheeler’s and Shipman are likely part of the same major forest fire.
