Weather in Rappahannock County has not been this dry since 1930, according to former Extension agent Bill Lyne. Miss Ruby Jenkins reported that only 11.74 inches of precipitation have fallen during 1977, based on readings taken at her official weather station in Washington through Monday, July 11. “Three and a half to four inches per month has been our average in the past,” she reported.
Miss Jenkins’s weather station registered 2.31 inches of rain on Sunday night. But amounts varied throughout the county. Reports ranged one-half inch in Gid Brown Hollow to six inches in the Flint Hill area with one and a half inches falling in Amissville and two inches on the F. T. Valley outside of Sperryville.
Sunday’s rainfall will not measurably affect conditions in Rappahannock, said Extension Agent Rap Owings. “It doesn’t change the situation here. We’ve already been hurt.”
