BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Even though the rain stopped, Flood Warnings continue to be in effect for portions of Maryland. The National Weather Service warns many rivers may still be in danger of overflowing.

Just because rain has stopped doesn't mean the threat for flooding has ended. Main stem rivers (such as the Potomac River) will continue to experience flooding through tonight. Avoid #flood prone areas until water recedes. pic.twitter.com/7rndcm4Y4F
