Episode Narrative Total monthly precipitation was mostly from 2.25 to 3.5 inches, or about 1 to 1.5 inches drier than the average. Grundy measured around 2.2 inches, while Clintwood had around 2.4 inches. Along Long Ridge of Sandy Ridge in southern Dickenson County, nearly 3.4 inches was observed. The south and southeast downslope wind off of Powell and Stone Mountains, including High Knob, helped reduce the totals for Dickenson County.

The ongoing drought from 2007 lingered, with D2 and D3 intensities.
