Almost six inches of rain has fallen in Island Creek Reservoir on the Virginia-North Carolina line. The dam is located in Mecklenburg County.
One to two inches of rain fell across much of southern Virginia overnight, with a few pockets of higher amounts, according to Tom Kines, a senior meteorologist with AccuWeather.
Kines had predicted one to two inches of rain from the remnants of Tropical Storm Chantal to areas east of the Shenandoah Valley.
Kines said another one to two inches of rain is possible today. Moisture from Chantal should move out over the ocean Monday night and Tuesday.
Chantal is the third tropical storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, following Andrea and Barry from June. The Atlantic hurricane season officially runs from June 1 to November 30.
Unsettled weather predicted this week in Virginia
An approaching cold front moving toward Virginia could lead to heavy rain and damaging wind gusts this week.
“An approaching cold front will move toward the state Tuesday and take its good old time crossing the state,” Kines said. “This could lead to a couple or few days of unsettled weather, resulting in the daily occurrence of a thunderstorm or two Tuesday through Thursday.
“Since there will be a rather humid air place, any of these thunderstorms can bring heavy rain. Damaging wind gusts are also a concern.”
