Here’s a weather forecast from the National Weather Service for projected accumulation in the next few hours.
Prince William leaders set an advertised tax rate Tuesday night.
It’s lower than the 4% increase agreed upon last year in the county’s five-year budget plan, but it’s higher than an earlier 1.3% rate increase that would have meant multiple cuts in county services, and pay freezes for county employees.
Last night, the Occoquan Woodbridge Lorton Volunteer Fire Department responded to a call for a fire at a town home on Pohick Creek Court in Woodbridge.
Responders noted heavy smoke coming from the home on the scene, and had the fire under control in 20 minutes.

The Prince William County Board of Supervisors will be meeting at 10 a.m. Saturday for another budget work session, to discuss potential cuts and what programs to retain. The ceiling property tax rate — the county’s largest source of revenue — must be advertised as of March 3, only giving the board members a few more days to work out an initial tax rate number.
County Executive Melissa Peacor presented the first draft of the budget at the board meeting earlier this month.
