Many secondary roadways are impassable and the Loudoun Sheriff?s reminds motorists that if you find yourself driving in potential flash flood conditions, never drive through standing water on a roadway. Water may be much deeper than you think causing your car to stall or even get stuck in hidden debris.
The area saw anywhere from 2 to 3 inches of heavy rain overnight. The National Weather Service is predicting an additional 1 to 2 inches of rain can be expected until 11:15 a.m. Tuesday.
The Sheriff's Office continues to closely monitor roadways that are susceptible to flooding as some areas may experience high water even after the rain tapers off.
