CBS Baltimore reports,

Streets along City Dock in downtown Annapolis are closed due to rising waters and flooding.

Flood-prone Main Street in Historic Ellicott City was temporarily shut down because of significant rainfall and water rising on the roadways, according to the Howard County government.

County officials said the street has been reopened as “rain rates have declined.”

Low-lying streets in Baltimore’s Fells Point, near the harbor, had some flooding.

For several hours, parking was prohibited along Main Street from Ellicott Mills Drive to the Patapsco River Bridge and along Maryland Avenue. 

Parking Lot D, behind the Howard County Welcome Center, and Parking Lot E off of Court Avenue are back open, county leaders said.
