Centreville - " A bit warmer and wetter in April than we ought to be but not by much. The average daily temperature was just three degrees above the 52.7° normal monthly temperature mark while the rain finally provided a surplus; the first since September last year. The high temperatures for the month just missed exceeding the record set in 2002 by a single degree. On April 27th we recorded 92° ending a three day run of nineties beginning on the 25th. The lowest reading of 33° occurred on April 13th; not a chance of a record with that one. The average highs and lows were within a reasonable range with 66.6° recorded for an average maximum; 1.4° above the 65.2° figure. The average lows behaved as we have come to expect; warmer than expected. This time 44.7° was averaged out to be 4.5° over the 40.2° April average low. Sunny Centreville had 13 days with rainfall this month amounting to 4.29" and finally going in the logbook as 0.85" to the plus side. It wasn't since last September that we were able to declare a surplus for the month. The largest single daily amount was recorded on April 11th when 0.91" accumulated in eight hours. The 2009 annual rainfall summery places our deficit at -3.86". When the preceding 12 months are considered however, we can still boast of a 1.75" surplus. Watch out May, your flowers are along the way. " - [ + + ] - Paul sends these notes

Glen Allen - Lowell Koontz reports the following: " April was warmer than average as the monthly mean temperature was 58.6°F, a +2.0°F departure, and was near average in precipitation (when compared to Ashland, Virginia records). The 3.05 inches of precipitation for April was a -0.02 inch departure when compared to the Ashland, VA average. The maximum precipitation recorded in a day was 0.80 inches on the 15th which was western Henrico County's private rain. It started as a slow moving small area of rain in Powhatan County and grew in size and intensity then morphed into an elongated NW- SE pattern that moved very slowly and trained the precipitation over our area. Measurable precipitation occurred on thirteen days and the rainfall of the 15th made our monthly total closer to average where many local stations were more below average. The maximum temperature for April was 93°F on the 26th, the hottest day since September 13, 2008 when it was also 93°F and the lowest minimum was 34°F recorded on the 8th which was the last observed light frost. There were three days (25th, 26th, 27th) that the temperature was 90°F or higher. The lowest dew point temperature for April was 16.7°F on the 7th at 1816 and the highest dew point was 64.8°F on the 25th at 0932. The maximum wind gust was 41 mph from the west-southwest that occurred on the 3rd at 1404. The highest barometer recorded for the month was 30.42 inches on the 29th and 30th and the lowest reading for April was 29.24 inches on the 3rd which was the lowest pressure since January 7th when it was 29.17 inches and was associated with a deep low pressure that passed to our NW.

Herndon - Randy reports: " April was about normal for temperature and, for a change, above normal for precipitation. The temperatures were typical for April with it mostly cool during the first two weeks and with the last frost occurring on the 13th. Then it warmed up with three consecutive days of record high temps in the low 90s occurring from the 25 thru the 27th. The precipitation fell off and on all month with thunderstorms occurring on five days (3, 6, 20, 21, and 25). The heaviest rain fell in thunderstorms on the 20 with 1.30 inches falling. We ended up with 4.22" for the month which was 0.55" above normal; the first above normal month in the last seven. " - [ - + ]
Ladysmith - Danny adds these notes: " April finished with slightly above normal temperatures. We can add another inch to the rainfall deficit. 9 of the last 10 months have featured below normal precipitation. " - [ + - ]
Portsmouth - " April was a warmer but drier month relative to normal for April months from 1977 to 2008. The 2.71" of rain produced an April that was 0.76" BELOW normal rainfall ( 78% of normal). The month's average temp was 1.4° ABOVE normal. Cold frontal passages occurred on the 3RD, 6TH, 7TH, 9TH, 11TH, 14TH, 15TH, 19TH, 21ST, 22ND, 30TH. A warmfront passed on the 10TH, 14TH, AND 30TH.
