Paltry rain totals three weeks into October are in stark contrast to Helene-enhanced September totals, with little or no rain expected in the next week.

Fall’s first widespread bout of freezing temperatures is upon us, but it won’t last too long.

Are we having unusual aurora displays, or is it that more people are getting photos of them? Well, both.

The pendulum has swung back to a prolonged cool, dry spell after recent tropical stickiness and downpours.

Steep terrain effects are a given, but atmospheric factors lined up for epic flooding and unusually strong winds to reach Southwest Virginia.

Much of western Virginia remains under a slight risk of flash flooding Sunday and Monday.

Southwest and Southside Virginia are a ring or two outside Helene’s inland bull’s-eye but have experienced significant and damaging water and wind effects.

Last week’s rainy coastal storm didn’t quite earn the name, but this week’s Helene may be a destructive hurricane on the Gulf Coast.

This storm never reached its potential as a tropical system, but it has dampened what could have been a hot week.
