NBC Universal, Inc.

After days that saw a man and woman being swept away while trying to cross a flooded street outside a bar in Alexandria and streets and basements flooded in parts of Northern Virginia, any rapid rainfall can set off floods.

Watch out for rising water, and if you encounter a flooded road, remember: Turn around, donโ€™t drown.

Steamy conditions return following the remnants of Tropical Storm Fred move away.

Rain is expected every day through Saturday. Sunday looks clear so far. Temperatures will be in the mid-80s to nearly 90 all week.
