During this rather uneventful summer weather, temps remained average to above normal for most areas with rainfall in excess for the Northern Virginia, Raleigh, Bristol, and Myrtle Beach areas with below normal amounts elsewhere in our region. The warmest summer temperatures arrived late and occurred during the first half of the month. On the 10th
and early 11th, thunderstorms ended the heat wave over eastern Virginia
and sparked several house fires. This report came from Jason Breakiron
in Manassas, VA via the Internet on the 21st : "We have had close
to 8 inches of rain since Friday. 2.25" on Friday, 5.65" yesterday &
.20" so far today. Being a severe weather nut, I'm happy I
Lightning killed a Gloucester, VA woman on a boat in northern Norfolk waters on the 11th. A young boy was struck and left numb on the 13th in Virginia Beach and a report of another death due to lightning was received on the 20th. Temperatures began on the cooler-than-normal side for the first few days of the month followed by a week-long period of the warmest summer temps. Temps dropped back a bit during the latter half of the month but averaged about normal with daytime highs slightly above normal and nighttime lows a bit cooler than normal. The last 5 days brought rebounding temps which were above normal for much of the area. Patrick Maloit's AUGUST
2001 Hydrological Report Narrative Summary
While most locations received above normal precipitation for August across central...south central and eastern Virginia...northeast North Carolina...and the lower Maryland Eastern Shore...some locations received normal or below normal precipitation. August 2001 precipitation totals ranged from 1.21 inches at Chase City (Mecklenburg)...to 10.30 inches at Courtland (Southampton). While a trough of low pressure produced scattered showers along the Mid Atlantic coast on the 1st and 2nd...high pressure moved from the northeast to off the Delmarva Coast. The high kept the region dry on the 3rd and 4th as it remained offshore. A weak cold front passed across the region on the 5th producing scattered showers and thunderstorms across the Mid-Atlantic states. This included the 24 hour rainfall maxima for the month of 0.83 inches at Alberta (Brunswick). High pressure built in behind the front and quickly moved offshore by the 6th. The Mid Atlantic states remained relatively dry through the 9th under the influence of this high. A trough of low pressure moved across the region on the 10th...followed by a cold front on the 11th. This front then lifted north as a warm front on the 12th. Another cold front then crossed through Maryland...Virginia and the Carolinas from the 13th to the 14th. The rapid succession of troughs of low pressure and fronts across the region from the 10th to the 14th produced several 24-hour precipitation maxima for the month. These included: 3.70 inches at Warsaw (Richmond County - 10/1th)...2.28 inches at Wakefield (Sussex - 11th)...1.45 inches at Amelia (Amelia - 11/12th)...1.63 inches at Assateague Island (Worcester - 12th)...3.47 inches at Sandston (Henrico - 12/13th)...4.50 inches at Princess Anne (Somerset - 13th)...and 2.05 inches at Edenton (Chowan - 13/14th). High pressure built in behind the front from the Great Lakes on the 14th...slowly sliding southeast to near Cape Hatteras the morning of the 17th. A cold front slowly moved through the region from the west from late on the 17th to the 18th...before moving back north of the region as a warm front on the 19th...bringing showers and thunderstorms with it. This precipitation resulted in some 24-hour rainfall maxima for August...including 1.92 inches at Smithfield (Isle of Wight - 17th)...3.30 inches at Lawrenceville (Brunswick - 17/18th)...2.49 inches at Stoney Creek (Sussex - 18th)...1.87 inches at Holland (Suffolk - 18/19th)...and 1.15 inches at Wallaceton/Lake Drummond (Chesapeake - 19th).

Annandale - "August was
a warm wet month. Rainfall was about 1 inch above the average & the
mean temp was about 2° above the average. The max temp of 96°
for the month was the highest in Aug. since '97.
The lowest max temp. was 79°
equaled the highest ever for August. The month had 30 days that the
max temp. was >= 80° which is the most for Aug. since 1993.
Also, the 77° min on the 9th tied the August record for the highest
minimum temp. The lowest temp in August was 62° which
was the highest minimum by 3° ever recorded at this station in the
last 21 years. The old record was 59°. There
were only 6 days the temp went below 65° which is also a 21 year
record. Highest mean for the date of August 9th was 86.5°,
the highest in since 1988. The 1.38" of rain on the 10th
was the heaviest daily rainfall total for an August day since
1997. The 4.23" precip total for August was the
6th greatest in the last 21 years for the month.
The 30.43" barometer reading on August 1st was the highest in August since
1986 when it was 30.45 inches. August also had
the lowest average wind speed since 1998."

Arlington - NWS WBC's Dewey Walston reports: "After a cool June and July...temperatures in August averaged slightly above normal. The highest temperature of the summer occurred on August 8th and 9th at 97 degrees. There were only 6 days this month in which the temperature reached 90f or higher. There have only been 16 days this year on which the temperature reached 90 degrees or higher. Normally...we get 38 days each year on which the temperature reaches 90 degrees or higher. After a wet June and July...precipitation in August was below normal. Precipitation for the entire summer ended up above normal." The average wind speed was 7.3 mph. [+ -]
Ashburn - Gary emails these notes: "Another relatively unremarkable month as meteorological summer comes to a close. As with July, a wetter than normal month, rainfall being 2.56” above normal. Despite the significant heat wave on the 5th through the 10th (which I was privileged to miss, thanks to for-once well timed business travel) average temperatures were only 1.9 degrees above normal. The heat index reached 109º on the 9th. Often predicted thunderstorms or thundershowers generally did not make an appearance; only 6 days with any observable thunder. Winds again pretty calm, with average windspeed of only 1.1 MPH. Dominant direction was SSE, with strong secondary direction of WNW." [ + + ]
Blacksburg - Temps were 2.0° above normal while precip was 0.77" below normal. - NWS Blacksburg [+ -]
Bridgewater - Clayton email
us that: "The temperature for the month was 2.7 degrees above normal.
The rainfall was 1.12 inches above normal. This is only the second month
so far this year with precipitation above normal. In spite of a wet August,
the yearly total precipitation is 2.65 inches below normal. The barometer
readings changed very little during the month. There were only two readings
below 30.00 inches. Most of the readings were between
30.00 inches and 30.11 inches." [+
+]
Centreville - Paul notes: "August finished warmer than usual by about three per cent and a lot wetter by 182 per cent. While it remained dry for the first nine days, we coupled that with six days of the warmest temperatures this summer to complain about. Over a span of nearly one week our average daily high for that period came in at 94.3°. To ease the pain it might be helpful to note that our overall daily high and low of 86° and 67°, and our coolest temperature of 57° all occurred within the same nine-day period. There was a teaser of a rain event on the tenth with 0.30 inches and helped to drop temperatures by 15° in an hour. The next day was the one to claim all responsibility for breaking the hot and dry spell with our average monthly rainfall of 4.16 inches accumulating in just 2.5 hours. It took six more hours to pick up the remaining quarter inch or so for the day but who cared, the ice trays were already full. Another day of heavy rain occurred 12 days later and produced 2.39 inches in a hair over three hours for an average rate of 0.78 inches per hour. Without six hot days in a row and a deluge to follow, everything would have been about normal, and I wouldn't have much to write about except to mention that our average nightly low was 3.7° above the 63° norm."

The storms of August 11 brought 3.05” of rain to my neck of the woods….this was the most rain in such a short period of time (2-3 hours) that I can remember. My street was completely under water for a time and part of it was closed for cleanup that next week. I also had some flooding in part of my basement as a result. August 2001 will certainly go down as a historical month for Falls Church!" - notes from Erica [ + + ]
