episode_narrativeA soaking rain put a dent into the summer drought on the 20th. The precipitation was caused by low pressure moving up the eastern seaboard. Rainfall across the Virginia suburbs of Washington, DC ranged from 1 1/2 to 2 inches. The combination of heavy rain with strong thunderstorms of three days prior may have contributed to two poplar trees falling onto the Capital Beltway in Tysons Corner (Fairfax Co) during the early morning commute. The downed trees caused a 10-mile backup to ensue on the southbound lanes. Virginia Power reported scattered outages during the event.
