In Landover, a Prince George's County official warns that high water on the road closed the ramp from the outer loop of the Beltway to eastbound Rt. 50 in Landover.
Officials remind motorists that if you see standing water in the road, don't try and drive through it. It can be difficult to see how deep the water is.
There's a chance for rain every day this week, and this weekend, Marylanders can expect to deal with Tropical Storm Joaquin. The flooding risks will only continue.
