Commuter Alert: Backup on GW Parkway

THE QUICK BLAST OF rainy, gusty badness that just hit the D.C. area has impacted the afternoon/evening commute in at least one major way: A downed tree is causing a backup on the northbound George Washington Memorial Parkway.

Express' Kris Coronado was driving in the area at about 3:45 p.m. and reports that traffic was moving at a crawl for about four to five miles; the backup begins about a half mile from the Capital Beltway. Proceed with caution.
