While no storms have triggered a severe thunderstorm warning from the National Weather Service the storms are packing high winds and heavy rain.
There have been some reports of power lines down, including on a portion of Garrisonville Road in Stafford County where a Dominion power pole fell onto the roadway. We’re still working to get more information on this from Stafford authorities.
The weather outside is frightful now, but expect clearing as we head into the nighttime hours.
