Flood watches, high wind warnings and more inclement DC, Maryland, Virginia weather
FOX 5's Caitlin Roth has the latest weather forecast for the D.C. region.
WASHINGTON - A day of torrential rain has created slick road conditions across the DMV and gusty winds have brought down trees in some areas, creating even more traffic chaos for some.
The storm system is moving north and is expected to bring the brunt to the D.C. area beginning around 6:30 p.m. and isn’t expected to move out until about 9 p.m.
That means drivers need to be extra cautious this evening as the wet roads and low visibility can create dangerous conditions, especially in low–lying areas.
There are flood warnings for D.C., Fairfax County, Prince William County, and Montgomery County until 11:30 p.m., while the rest of our area will remain under a flood watch until Wednesday morning.
As of 9:30 p.m., Pepco states there are 110 outages and 3,500 customers affected. Dominion in Virginia is reporting 454 outages with nearly 10,000 customers without power.
The Maryland State Police Department said between 12 p.m. - 8 p.m., officers responded to 79 crashes, 40 roadway hazards, and 18 disabled vehicles. They also answered a total of 361 calls for service.
