Our Charlottesville team has seen its share of storm damage. Here are some examples of the kinds of storm systems that may affect Albermarle County during the summer from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration:

Thunderstorms: Thunderstorms are a frequent occurrence in Charlottesville during the summer. These storms are often accompanied by heavy rain, thunder, lightning, and gusty winds. They can develop quickly and bring localized downpours, lightning strikes, and occasional hail.

Tropical Storms and Hurricanes: Although Charlottesville is not located on the coast, it can still be impacted by the remnants of tropical systems that move inland from the Atlantic Ocean or Gulf of Mexico. These systems can bring heavy rainfall, strong winds, and the potential for localized flooding. While the intensity of these systems diminishes as they move inland, they can still produce significant rainfall.

Mesoscale Convective Systems (MCS): MCS refers to large clusters or complexes of thunderstorms that can persist for several hours. These systems often form during the evening or overnight hours and can produce heavy rain, frequent lightning, and strong winds. MCS events can occasionally lead to flash flooding and damaging wind gusts.

Severe Thunderstorms: Severe thunderstorms are characterized by strong winds, large hail, and the potential for tornadoes. These storms can cause significant damage to property and pose a risk to public safety.
