Flash Flood Watch Sunday: Timeline, Impacts

We’ll take it as another sign of spring: heavy showers.

A flash flood watch has been issued for northern Virginia and Washigton D.C. until 7 p.m. Sunday.

A flash flood watch means that conditions may develop that lead to flash flooding.

A band of moderate heavy rain is expected to accompany a “small, but potent” low pressure system, according to the National Weather Service.

Rainfall amounts may exceed 1 inch in just a few hours. Due to saturated soils from recent rain and snowfall.

Residents should continue to monitor later forecasts and be prepared to act should flash flood warnings be issued, according to the weather service.
