Before Hurricane Helene’s outer bands brought several inches of rain to central Virginia, local streams and rivers were already primed for near-record flooding due to previous rainfall.

Between 2 and 6 inches of rain fell in the Charlottesville area over the past 72 hours, with up to 2 more inches expected by 2 p.m. Tuesday.

With so many roads flooded or inundated, the Virginia Department of Transportation advises motorists to check the 511 website before every trip.

The National Weather Service has extended the flood warning for the city of Charlottesville and surrounding Albemarle County until 7:30 a.m. Tuesday. Hazardous weather is forecast for nearby Augusta, Greene, Nelson and Orange counties. Slow showers and thunderstorms Monday afternoon and evening could lead to hazardous road conditions overnight.

A flood warning is in effect for the Rivanna River around Palmyra in Fluvanna County until Wednesday morning. As of Monday morning, the river level was at 13.8 feet and was expected to rise above flood stage of 17 feet by late Monday. Forecasts suggest Rivanna will reach a height of 18.4 feet early Tuesday afternoon.

Mint Springs Valley Park in Crozet was severely affected by flooding. The road to the park entrance is completely washed away by the water. According to Albemarle County, the park is closed until further notice. Park officials say repairs to the park will depend on when the water levels go down.

In Waynesboro, Public Works is urging residents to conserve water. The Shenandoah Village Drive water pressure booster system was flooded, affecting electrical controls. Trafford McRae, director of Waynesboro Public Works, said they hope to have everything up and running Tuesday morning.
