Driest August on Record at Several Locations (through 8/26)

August 2013 currently (though 8/26) ranks as one of the driest on record at several locations across the Aberdeen forecast area.  Figure 1 below provides a graphical estimation of the accumulated rainfall over the past 30 days (07/28/13 - 08/27/13).  Note that the driest locations are generally found in and along the James River Valley, where less than 0.25" of rainfall has fallen.
