Lorton Rainfall Nov. 12 - Nov. 18, 2012

Daily rainfall totals for previous 24 hours measured at 6am from my rain gauge in Lorton.

With fall soon over and winter approaching, our area usually gets two/thirds of an inch of rainfall per week. Last week, we received 0.57” of rain, and the outlook (see graphics) through early December looks dry. If you’ve planted some landscape this fall, you may want to water it some during the day to ensure it’s healthy.

My rain gauge in Lorton recorded the following precipitation at 6 a.m. on the day indicated for the previous 24 hours:
