Roseland’s, Betsy Smith, Air Care Flight nurse from PHI (Petroleum Helicopters, Inc) in Weyer’s Cave is seen above on our trip to Rockfish River Elementary School Monday. Students there got to look at all types of careers at Community Helper’s Day they might want to do one day, including helicopter pilot or flight nurse. NCL rode along with Air Care on the trip from Shenandoah Valley Regional to Rockfish and back. You’ll be reading much more about Betsy in the coming weeks and some pretty neat things our local Nelson gal is up to! Meanwhile be sure to check out all of the other fantastic photos from yesterday’s career day at Rockfish River Elementary by clicking here. We had a great time there and appreciate Ms. Nita Hughes and the entire staff treating us to lunch! It was awesome, and the weather perfect, thank you very much!

Good thing we weren’t flying today as the skies won’t be anywhere as clear as Monday, but you know I think we’ll all take the rain we can get. It was already around us last night, though most areas remained dry. Today rain should eventually work into all areas of Central Virginia. As I talked about Monday, there are differing views on how long the rain may hang around, but today most folks should see a respectable amount. Again, nothing to get us out of the drought situation, but at least we are headed the right direction. I don’t see any wild temperature swings over the next 5-7 days, though we’ll briefly cool a smidgen during that period – no real cold temps. We have yet to get a killing frost, very unusual for October. Not unheard of, but certainly rare.

The current national forecast map shows the approaching cold front and associated low pressure system in our area. Over the next 24-36 hours expect off and on rainfall, the best shot today and tonight. Over the extended period, it’s hard to tell what this system wants to do. We could have chances for scattered showers remaining in the forecast through Friday.

Out 48 hours we still have the front nearby, but barely through Nelson at the end of that period.

Walton’s Mountain Museum 15th
Schuyler, Virginia
Walton Mtn 15th

hayride28

bluegrass

A fabulous weekend in Central Virginia! After some much needed rainfall toward the end of last week, Saturday & Sunday cleared out to be wonderful days with temps again above normal around 80 degrees. At night we have seen some 30’s for overnight lows in the past few days. The weather was perfect for the 15th anniversary of The Walton’s Mountain Museum in Schuyler this past weekend. Hayrides, all kinds of music and food, along with plenty of history on The Walton’s television series inspired by our very good friend, Earl Hamner, Jr’s childhood in Schuyler.

We’ll see a return of those 80 degree temps again today before some pretty drastic changes begin taking shape over the next 48 hours. Expect chances for rain to increase on Tuesday and depending on which models and forecasters you listen to, the rain could last much of the week. The NWS in Sterling. VA says it will be a Tuesday rain event ending by Wednesday night. The NWS in Blacksburg which forecasts as far north as Amherst, shows rain hanging in there until Friday afternoon. I understand why their is so much of a divide since the computer models they look at are not agreeing at all right now. But, I can tell you I favor the NWS in Blacksburg more, they generally are far more accurate than the ones in the D.C. area, who are actually in charge of forecasting our weather believe it or not! And if you’ve been here very much over the past year you know my feelings about relying on computer weather models too much. Mmmm, wonder what happened to that extremely active hurricane season predicted!

Regardless of which forecast you believe we will see a cool down of temps after today, first to the 70’s then 60’s later in the week.

The current national forecast map shows an approaching cold front that will provide rain chances by Tuesday at the latest. Over the next 24 hours we’ll better be able to tell how much and how long the rain will last.

If you go out about 48 hours you can see the front still in the area with chances of rain.

Hayley Morning

Before we get into the thick of it, want to point out this weekend’s featured weather photo shot by Hayley Osborne. Lots of you know Hayley, she’s a local gal born and raised here in Nelson. Her photography is excellent. You’ll begin seeing lots of her work appear in the pages of NCL starting in November and beyond.

The dam has broken on the long stretch of dry weather. Showers began Friday morning, giving us as much as an inch of rain or a tad more in some locations. This certainly won’t be enough to take us out of a drought. But it will certainly help some temporarily.

Skies will remain clear for the rest of the weekend.

Fall Colors on the BRP
Near Love, Virginia
BRP-23

Wednesday was another warm one in Virginia. Though we saw some thin clouds move in by dark, the bulk of the day was dry and warm. If we don’t get rain sometime today before midnight, we will break a record in portions of NOVA near DC for the most consecutive days without rainfall. The old record dates back to 1871 – 137 years ago! That’s almost as old as me! I do think we’ll actually see some rain in the area somewhere before midnight tonight. Conditions are changing and becoming better for rain, particularly as we head into tonight and Friday.

As hot and dry as it is, Fall is trying to make some kind of appearance especially up on the BRP where there is some color…. if the leaves aren’t simply dropping off from being so dry. Hopefully we’ll see some rain over the next 48 hours to at least end fall on a positive note as we head toward winter in the coming weeks.

The Storm Prediction Center continues to show the potential for severe weather on Friday. A warm front will push through area as a cold front works toward us, that could set the stage for a severe weather outbreak in the Atlantic region on Friday. Here’s a little of what the storm prediction center is saying:

WRN SLOPES OF THE APPALACHIANS TO THE ATLANTIC COAST…
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS — FROM THE GREAT LAKES SWD TO
THE GULF OF MEXICO — ARE FORECAST TO BE ONGOING AT THE START OF THE
PERIOD…ALONG AND AHEAD OF SURFACE FRONT. EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER
AND PRECIPITATION SHOULD LIMIT POTENTIAL FOR AIRMASS DESTABILIZATION
THROUGH THE DAY…DESPITE MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER.

WHILE LACK OF INSTABILITY SHOULD ACT TO LIMIT STORM INTENSITY TO
SOME DEGREE… WITH SHEAR ACTING TO
ENHANCE/SUSTAIN ORGANIZED STORMS — INCLUDING SMALL-SCALE LINES/BOWS (fast moving lines of storms with strong winds)
AND SOME SUPERCELLS…EXPECT FAIRLY WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER
COVERAGE. MAIN SEVERE THREAT WILL LIKELY BE DAMAGING WINDS…THOUGH
A COUPLE OF TORNADOES WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE. HAIL SHOULD BE A
LESSER THREAT IN GENERAL ……….

Today’s Forecast Map

On the National Forecast Map, high pressure that’s been controlling our weather for the past week has moved to the east out into the Atlantic. A warm front will move north through the area over the next several hours with a cold front sweeping through Friday evening. The clash of the two air masses may set off some severe weather with an isolated tornado possible, though better chances are north toward PA.

Local forecast
*Today Patchy morning fog, partly sunny early then becoming mostly cloudy by late afternoon. Scattered showers possible late.
*High temps in Woods Mill, Amherst, & Hickory Creek around 77°
*On the mountains above 2000 feet along the BRP, Montebello, Wintergreen, Devil’s Knob, and Love, Partly sunny early, increasing clouds, showers late.

Winds: S 5-10 MPH

*Tonight Mostly cloudy scattered showers then thunderstorms after midnight across 40% of the area. Fog developing before morning.
*Lows valley near: 58°
*On the mountains: 55°
*Winds: S 5-10 MPH with higher gusts to 20 by morning

Tomorrow Showers & thunderstorms across 60% of the area. Some possibly severe.

*On the mountains – near 68°
Winds: S 5-10 MPH
*Tomorrow night: Evening showers & thunderstorms tapering off by morning – Lows near 53° valley – 47° mountains.

Hyacinth, Eichhornia crassipes, near Back Bay
Sandbridge, Virginia
water hyacinth

This morning beautiful weather photo comes to us from Elaine and Henri Weems of Rodes Farm here in Nelson. They were recently on a trip and captured this beautiful picture! They say:

“Elaine took this photo of a water hyacinth, Eichhornia crassipes, near Back Bay U.S. Fish & Wildlife Area at Sandbridge, Virginia. Water hyacinths are very pretty but extremely invasive water plants common to North America, Asia, Australia and Africa.”

We always enjoy getting pics from Elaine and Henri and know they are loyal audiocast listners each morning!

Tuesday was another nice day to be outdoors working. Pleasant, sometimes warm temperatures made it feel more Summer like rather than Fall. According to NWS discussions, the first half of October has been the warmest on record thus far, ahead of 1990 readings by about 2 degrees. Though a critical situation regarding rain, it’s important to keep these kinds of weather events in perspective and know the cycle can and will change over time. We’ll see rain, maybe as soon as Thursday, but certainly as we work into the winter months. Though right about now would be just fine!

Changes do appear to be shaping up for some rain by the end of the week. Earlier I was skeptical. So far most forecasters and models agree that rain and thunderstorms are in the forecast. This is not a huge rain event, but we could see 1 and 2 inch amounts in some areas of Central Virginia. Thursday begins the process perhaps even with a clap of thunder from time to time late in the day, by Friday more organized severe weather is even a possibility as we will be in a warm and humid environment with an approaching cold front. The Storm Prediction Center has us depicted for severe weather in their longest range forecast as of late Tuesday night as seen below (D4) Has now listed us in their DAy 3 (Friday) outlook for possible severe weather. Audio will be updated later:

Today’s Forecast Map

On the National Forecast Map, high pressure begins to weaken and move east toward the Atlantic. As it moves east we will get a more southerly flow by week’s end with moisture heading our way.

Local forecast
*Today Partly sunny early with increasing clouds as the day wears on. Mild again.
*High temps in Nellysford, Ivy, & Colleen around 80°
*On the mountains above 2000 feet along the BRP, Montebello, Wintergreen, Devil’s Knob, and Love, Partly sunny early, increasing clouds late.
Highs top out around 74°
Winds: S 5-10 MPH

*Tonight Mostly cloudy with increasing humidity into Thursday morning.
*Lows valley near: 56°
*On the mountains: 54°
*Winds: S 5-10 MPH

Tomorrow Mostly cloudy with showers by afternoon across 40% of the area.
*Highs valley near 75°
*On the mountains – near 64°
Winds: S 12-14 MPH
*Tomorrow night: Mostly cloudy with scattered showers and thunderstorms – Lows near 60° valley – 53° mountains.
Winds: S 12-14 MPH

The remainder of the week Thunderstorms, some possibly severe on Friday. Daytime highs generally near 80° valley – on the mountains look for daytime highs in the upper 60’s nearing 70° – Overnight lows – near 60 valley & mid 50’s mountains.

The weekend looks dry after lingering showers Saturday morning. Daytime highs mid 70’s valley – around 70° mountains. By early next week daytime highs cool to the lower 60’s by Tuesday.
