(Updated at 5:30 p.m.) Flooding has been reported in parts of Arlington, Alexandria, D.C. and Montgomery County after a period of very heavy rain.
In Arlington, the deluge left high water on Route 110, prompting police to close the highway between Rosslyn and the Pentagon. Standing water was also reported on Columbia Pike near the Pentagon.
If you are NB on Rt 1 in Crystal City you will be forced to exit onto NB I-395 due to the usual Rt 110 flooding. Both @ArlingtonVaFD & @ArlingtonVaPD responded to the flooding. Heavy rain has stopped. @ARLnowDOTcom @WTOPtraffic pic.twitter.com/apm5NwcubH
