Heavy rain causes flooding in St. Mary’s County
Heavy rain Friday morning caused flooding conditions in St. Mary’s County in Southern Maryland.
Flood Watches have been extended for almost all parts of our region. Numerous downed trees and power lines have created delays along the roadways.
Rain, rain, and more rain. Another gloomy day ahead for the Washington, D.C. region today. It will be light but steady most of the day, with the heavier stuff later this evening into the overnight. Flood watches are up for the entire region. Stay dry! :) pic.twitter.com/u9Tzb3Mhjk

Frederick County, one of the hardest areas hit by the rainfall, is still under a State of Emergency following days of drenching downpours, flooded basements and overflowing toilets. The emergency will continue through Wednesday.
"Flood waters have begun to recede," said city said in a news release. "However streams and rivers were still flowing above normal stage and were extremely dangerous: No one should ever enter any flowing water. There is still some ponding of flood water in low lying areas, and residents are asked to avoid standing water due to the potential for injury from hidden debris, possible deep water areas, and hidden infrastructure."
The city of Frederick has also asked residents to limit nonessential water usage.
There will be limited service along parts of the MARC Brunswick Line again Friday due to rail damage, officials say.
