Well, at least it’s warm! This morning, Brad Savage of 106.1 The Corner announced that today’s high temperature would peak at 55 degrees—although he said it was 62 at the time. And temperature isn’t the only thing that’s coming down.
The Charlottesville website reports rainfall totaling between 2" and 4" with a flood warning in effect until 2pm. An e-mail from Albemarle County Community Relations Director Lee Catlin states that "approximately 30 roads in the area are currently impacted by heavy rainfall." In the city, those roads include McIntire Road at Harris Street, Old Ivy Road at the intersection with Ivy Road, and High Street at Meade Avenue. In the county, multiple sections of Langhorne Road near Route 20 and south of Route 6, Plank Road near North Garden, and several more—check a complete list at the Charlottesville Newsplex website.
Still with us, kids? Good, because a load of schools are shutting doors for the day, and many are simply keeping ’em closed for a few more hours. Check the list!
