WASHINGTON — Sunday afternoon brought steady rain once again into the D.C. area.
Many reports came in of rivers getting close to flood stage, along with flood watches and warnings for the Potomac River in Maryland and Virginia, and the Rappahannock River in Virginia.
Traffic on the Capital Beltway slowed in Prince George’s county due to flooding close to the Baltimore-Washington Parkway.
