March 13, 2010: 1st Thunderstorm of Spring

The start of spring has officially begun! The first storm to roll across metro Richmond occurred this evening around 10:00 - 10:20 PM. It brought heavy rain (rain rates of upwards of 0.8"/hour) with some occasional lightening and thunder. About 0.36" of rain was recorded in Church Hill. The temperature remained around 52-53 degrees during the storm. Pretty cool reading for an unexpected evening storm.
