Here come the storms, right when you guys said (4-8PM). You guys rock!

We have storms in Culpeper and Fauquier, which are gonna move into Prince William, Fairfax and then into DC and PG & Charles counties.

It looks like another line of storms is down near Charlottesville moving NE that looks like it might hit some of the area in a few hours.

The good thing about these storms is that they're coming through NOW, so hopefully the rain will stop for all the fireworks shows tonight. Sorry for every that is having a barbecue this afternoon/evening though. Hopefully you guys have a George Foreman or a watertight grill or something...

Moderate rain in NW Montgomery but it looks like there will be a dry period in about a half hour. Maybe wet grass for the fireworks up here but I think they can get it off. Not going to predict the Mall fireworks.

Light rain now in Rockville. Not too bad. I'd say if you moved the grill under cover (Not in the garage please) you'd probably be fine.

Steady rain in Silver Spring, for the past 30 minutes or so.

Pouring here in Mt. Vernon

WUSA reporting that it's likely the downtown fireworks could be delayed to 9:30 or even 10:00pm...really?

So basically, my BBQ party got ruined as a result. We had to shut it down earlier than expected and I wanted to go see some fireworks downtown, but it appears that's out the window too right?

Most big storms to south and east of Baileys Crossroads by now. Fireworks forecast for the Mall hinges on the group of storms approaching from the west.

Mark - I'm a native and the fireworks have always been rain or shine starting around 9:05. If you're on the mall you take your chances. But since things have been getting ever wimpier around here through the years, I wouldn't be surprised!

Will a cancellation/postponement be posted here if there is one? I read something about a rain-date of tomorrow night, so I feel like a significant postponement is a possibility.

Ben-- I'm not plugged into where cancellations for the Mall fireworks are announced... so sorry can't help on that. It's going to be a close call with one more line of showers/storms coming through in the next couple hours.

Max - I'm at the Residence Inn Rosslyn - we're going to take our chances and walk down to the Iwo Jima Memorial right now and see if we get lucky.

We're huddled under the umbrella right outside Iwo Jima, got here just in time before the rain started up nice and heavy in Arlington. Completely overcast and grey to our west, so I have no clue if this will move through in time.

Fireworks went on on time on Carrleigh Parkway (West Springfield). Just a bit of extra water on my burger...

Great night to take in Potomac Nationals baseball in Prince William County! Only once did we have to briefly take cover from a shower. Cloud cover did cause the smoke to stay low hindering the end of the fireworks display but given the earlier dire predictions of severe weather, I'd say it was a successful evening!

All you night dwellers...be aware that there is a band of moderate to heavy rain developing in Northern Albemarle and Orange counties, pushing northeast. Looks like it'll affect Culpeper, Fauquier and Stafford counties within an hour or so. No lightning with them as of 0230.
