Slow-moving downpours could cause flooding in Arlington and the D.C. area Friday night.

That’s according to the National Weather Service, which just issued a Flood Watch for much of the region, nearly 24 hours in advance. In addition to the potential flooding, there could also be severe storms tomorrow evening, forecasters say.


Arlington County and areas west will be under a Flood Watch tomorrow.

The National Weather Service expects 2-4 inches of rain to fall Tuesday in Northern Virginia, potentially flooding “creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.”


After a wet start to Friday, things are looking up for Mother’s Day weekend.
