Heavy Rain Remains

Good Monday once again everyone. The threat for severe weather continues to push off to the east and south of the state as heavy rains continue for many. The storms moved though last night into this morning with high winds that caused a lot of damage for a lot of people.

The threat for the rest of the day will be the potential for flooding. Periods of heavy rain will continue to work across the state from southwest to northeast. With a super soaked ground… flash flooding will be a concern into the rest of the day. If you live in a flood prone area… keep an eye on water levels and be prepared to move to higher ground. If traveling… NEVER attempt to drive through a flooded roadway. Turn Around… Don’t Drown!

Track the heavy rains here…

Today’s Rainfall

Colder air will move in from the northwest later today and temps will tumble into the low 40s by early this evening. Winds will continue to be very gusty into late this afternoon.

Looking ahead… winter isn’t through and will try to make a comeback later this weekend into much of next week. We have not seen the last snowfall of the season as the pattern has that wintry look to it again for the next 2 or 3 weeks. Just because severe weather and flooding have kept me from talking about it doesn’t mean my thoughts changed. Priorities people! haha

That’s all for now… I am going to FINALLY get a few hours sleep before I have to work at my paying job. Watch the flooding potential for the rest of the day and take care.

After avoiding the wave of protests sweeping the Middle East for months, Oman has entered its third day of continuous economic demonstrations. Local media is reporting that demonstrators have set fire to a supermarket, cars, a police station, houses, and the governor’s residence amid protests [url=http://123144.csmonitor.com]calling for economic[/url] hswhfjweidjwejdjan21123h12 calling for economic improvements and government reform .

Creeks are running wild here in knox co. As heavy rain continues to fall. Schools dismissed an hour early, some roads are already covered by water though,hope the buses make it home safe with all the kids

Official rain gauges seem a bit off. Almost every creek in the county is out of its banks, looks like we will see some major river flooding.

Just drove to Richmond from London. Rain was hit and miss, but the wind was blowing pretty hard. I was having to fight to keep my small SUV on the road.
