Thanks, Jason. I asked because I will be out this evening around the Fredericksburg area.

Everything is well east of the city. Strong northwest flow right now. Good weather for the Nats game. No rain tonight.

That is great news. I received .60 today and my monthly total stands at 8.31" Enough already...

Very heavy downpour just past over the Blue Ridge east of Front Royal. No lighting or thunder observed, just some lightning bugs earlier. Power flickered for several seconds.

Jason, even though Stafford is under a tornado watch until 8pm, is most of the activity over for us as well? We had two heavy t-storms earlier this afternoon.
