Strong storms popped up across the region on Monday bring very heavy rains in short periods of time, putting a damper on the Eve of the 4th. Fortunately most of the rains cleared out early enough to allow the Monday night fireworks shows in the area to continue. But the rains did hamper the rush hour travel leading to some ponding of water on area streets.
Reports and doppler radar showed upwards of an inch of rain fell in less than 30 minutes.
