Rain is quickly exiting from west to east this evening and will likely clear the entire area before midnight. Several hometowns have picked up more than 4″ of rain with a daily rainfall record set in the Roanoke Valley Friday.

There were several reports of downed trees across Henry county as the strong storms moved through.
