Updated forecast: Heavy rain, some flooding, through this evening

[elleng]

Flash flood watch through this evening, with warnings in some areas. More rain likely Friday.

Radar shows that the intensity of rainfall has decreased in the zones under flash flood warnings in Northern Virginia (from Sterling to Burke and Alexandria) and Maryland (in northern Charles County). The National Weather Service did receive a report of a stranded vehicle in high water just to the southeast of St. Charles, Md., due to flooding.

Over the next couple of hours, we expect widespread rain showers over the region, with some embedded thunderstorms with heavy rain. The intensity of the downpours has decreased slightly over the past hour and we may see that trend continue. However, we cannot rule out additional pockets of heavy rain and flooding.

If serious flooding redevelops, we’ll provide new updates. Otherwise, read below for the detailed forecast through Friday. >>>
