(END SOT) << For anyone in Amherst who was

wondering whether water restrictions
were still in effect, the answer could
be found in the fountain in the town's
traffic circle ... bubbling with life
-- and water -- once again.

Several days of sustained rain have
brought the Buffalo River back to its

normal level ... and after four weeks
of mandatory conservation, the town
feels good about its situation.

Due west of Amherst, it's the same
story ... the Pedlar Reservoir, which
serves as the city of Lynchburg's main
source of water, is up more than four
feet over last week ... and it
continues to rise.

SOT SOT FULL 18:40:22

IN Q=We feel very TIM MITCHELL/LYNCHBURG UTILITIES

DIRECTOR: WE FEEL VERY GOOD ABOUT THE
SITUATION NOW. AFTER SEVERAL DAYS OF
STEADY RAIN, THE RESERVOIR LEVEL IS
ABOUT FIFTY INCHES HIGHER THAN IT WAS
THIS TIME LAST WEEK, AND IT'S STILL
RISING. RIGHT NOW, WE'RE ABOUT 111
INCHES ABOVE THE SPILLWAY. TYPICALLY
ANYTHING OVER 130 INCHES, WE'RE USING
100 PERCENT WATER FROM THE RESERVOIR.

RUN16 (END SOT)

OUT Q=from the reservoir. Because Lynchburg can draw up to

100 percent of its water from the James
River if need be, the water situation
there has not been as dire ... although
residents were asked earlier this month
to use water wisely.

Mitchell says that's good advice
any time of year.

IN Q=We know that MITCHELL: WE KNOW THAT THE GROUND WATER

LEVELS ARE STILL RELATIVELY LOW
COMPARED TO WHERE THEY TYPICALLY ARE
THIS TIME OF YEAR, SO I'M NOT SAYING
WE'RE AT THE END OF THE DROUGHT BY ANY
MEANS, IT COULD CONTINUE, SO WE DO WANT
TO BE CAUTIOUS, BUT WE'RE OPTIMISTIC.

HAS BEEN PUT UPON OUR TEACHERS AND OUR

SHOW THAT THERE'S SOME UNIFORMITY

MY OPINION TO PUT AS MUCH IMPORTANCE ON

WOULD BE IF YOU WERE GRADED JUST BY THE

Center. Many awoke to frosty
conditions this morning and the growing
season has ended along and west of the

Blue Ridge mountains. Even though
sub-freezing temperatures are expected
again for these areas, no advisories
will be issued since the growing season
is over. On the other hand, a FREEZE
WARNING has been issued for areas east
of the Blue Ridge. You'll see your
first frost tonight which will end the
growing season. A large ridge of high
pressure will keep the weather tranquil
through the week, with clear skies both
night and day. This week mean a fairly
large temperature swing with chilly
mornings and comfortable afternoons.
Temperatures will moderate a bit by
midweek as winds come in from the
south. Several fronts will try to make
a run at us, with little success.
Tropical Storm Noel formed in the
Central Caribbean Sea over the weekend.
Most of the rain will stay off the east
coast. However, coastal rip currents
can be expected through the week.
