Showers, chilly temperatures and flood concerns will continue Saturday and into Mother’s Day.
About 1 to 2 inches of rain fell between Friday and early Saturday, and another half-inch or more is possible, the National Weather Service said. The deluge set off floods in parts of the region.
Flood warning and watches expired Saturday night for parts of the D.C. area, like parts of Montgomery and Fairfax counties that are near the Potomac River. Rivers or low-lying areas may have had high water, the National Weather Service said. Here's a list of severe weather alerts.
A flood warning means there is an active flood threat. Stay aware in flood-prone areas and remember: Never drive into a flooded road. Several water rescues and road closures have been reported.
