We're already seeing storms pop-up toward the mountains and expect them to become numerous in the immediate DC area in the 3 to 7p window. A flood watch is up as some areas could see 2-4" of rain in a short amount of time:

Expect dangerous lightning in addition to heavy rain. A few storms could also unleash damaging wind gusts.
