2,771 first-hand accounts of flood events in Virginia, ranked by impact. Each is a NOAA-written narrative of the moment.
A warm front, drifting northward from the Carolinas across the lower Mid-Atlantic, triggered scattered thunderstorms with heavy rain. Strong heating during the afternoon supported surface-based CAPE values rising into the 2,000 to 2,500 J/Kg range, while precipitable water…

Read the full account →Strong heating during the afternoon created an unstable airmass with surface-based CAPE values in excess of 3,000 J/Kg across Tazewell County and the surrounding area, while precipitable water values varied between 1.6 and 1.8 inches.
Read the full account →The approach of a cold front, daytime heating, and increasing low level instability, led to the development of isolated showers and thunderstorms. One of these storms reached severe levels and produced damaging winds.
Read the full account →A frontal boundary remained parked over the Central Appalachians on the last week of July, which kept southwest Virginia suseptible to heavy downpours from daily showers and thunderstorms for a prolonged period of time.

Read the full account →An upper level disturbance passing along a stationary front draped across the lower Mid-Atlantic region triggered spotty thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening of July 31st.
Read the full account →A slow-moving thunderstorm developed along a stationary front stretching across Appomattox County on the afternoon of July 16th. Surface analysis just prior to the thunderstorm indicated precipitable water values in the area around 1.5 inches, while deep instability was present…
