In addition, a flash flood warning has been issued for the southeastern part of District Of Columbia and central Prince Georges County. The warning is in effect until 10:30 p.m.

The National Weather Service recommends to be cautious, especially at night when it is harder to recognize flooding. “If flash flooding is observed act quickly. Move up to higher ground to escape flood waters.”

"Most flood deaths occur in automobiles. Never drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the roadway. Flood waters are usually deeper than they appear. Just one foot of flowing water is powerful enough to sweep vehicles off the road. When encountering flooded roads ... turn around."
