A flood watch has been issued for much of the Washington area, as heavy rains may cause local streams and creeks to overflow.
The National Weather Service issued the alert, which began at 1 p.m. and will last late into the night. Between 1 to 2 inches of rain is expected to fall, which could potentially cause trouble for areas near water.
Flooding also could cause trouble for streets in more urban areas.
Prince George’s County may want to look out for high water in Upper Marlboro, which turned into something of a disaster area after Tropical Storm Lee flooded the ground floor of the County Administration Building and overflowing rivers and streams blocked most roads into the town.
The flood watch is also in effect for:
- Montgomery County
- Washington, D.C.
- Arlington
- Fairfax County
- Prince William County
