The National Weather Service has issued a Flash Flood Watch for the District of Columbia and surrounding jurisdictions in effect until midnight tonight.
Showers and thunderstorms likely this afternoon and evening. There is potential for repetitive rounds of precipitation. Combined with saturated ground and high stream levels from Saturday`s rainfall, this precipitation could lead to flash flooding. Urban areas, locations along small streams and creeks, and poor drainage areas are most vulnerable to flash flooding.
A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation. You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.
Many alerts regard violent crime. Do not take action, instead call 911 with the event number if listed.
