More than two inches of rain fell in portions of Prince William and Stafford counties this past weekend, one of the soggiest in at least a year. The heaviest rains fell Friday and Saturday, May 6 and 7, leaving behind a gloomy and cool Mother’s Day.
Rainwaters caused water levels in the Potomac River to rise. A Coastal Flood Advisory remains for King George County until 1 a.m.
Tidal flooding will likely continue through Tuesday, especially over DC as freshwater moves in from the upstream Potomac River. River flooding also continues through the day. Today will be milder with more sunshine after a couple dreary days. #MDwx #VAwx #DCwx #WVwx pic.twitter.com/QlFTFk30aX
