HERNDON, VA -- We're almost out of the woods with regards to the rain, but not quite. And after yesterday's downpour, several roads in the Herndon area have been closed.

As of Wednesday morning, Fairfax County Police's Reston District Station -- which includes Herndon -- reported three roads closed: Browns Mill Road at Windstone Drive (Vienna), Browns Mill Road at Rosewood Hill Drive (Vienna), and Leigh Mill Road at Kelso Road (Great Falls).

All three were closed due to water in the roadway. Leigh Mill Road has one lane open.
