@WithinTheNotch Was on this storm too, good stuff dude!

Another image with some color editing to bring the potential tornado out of the rain a little better - this just east of Culpeper, VA around 4pm 8/8/26 @NWS_BaltWash #vawx

[Ricky Rich Wx @RickyRichwx]

Hearing buzz of a possible tornado on the storm I tracked through Culpeper County, VA - and this was a lowering I saw through the rain shaft once the storm entered Fauquier County, this in Sumerduck, VA.

VIRGA!

Tons of Virga can be seen this evening across the Shenandoah Valley here in Virginia. It’s a cool sight to see, and happens when rain (or snow) falls from a cloud but evaporates before it can reach the ground, typically due to a layer of dense, dry air. #virga #vawx

Anybody else catch the Mammatus clouds over Rockingham County, VA this fine morning? #mammatus #vawx
