Urban areas have the highest risk of seeing a downpour creating brief flooding Sunday evening.
Luckily the portion of our area under a flood watch until 8 p.m. is slowly shrinking as the heaviest rain threat moves east of the Chesapeake Bay. Still, we need to be a bit on guard until the cold front passes this evening — particularly in areas of poorer drainage such as urban environments, where quick downpours could still lead to problems.
The reason we’re so susceptible to pockets of flooding is that much of our region has had enough rain recently to produce saturated soil, which quickly turns a downpour into runoff instead of absorbing some or all of the rainfall. A few patches received 2 to 3 inches in the past 24 hours. Remember: Turn around — don’t drown! Never approach or try to travel through a flooded area.
More good news is that not too much more rain is expected this evening, but again we’ll still need to watch for pockets of downpours that may develop. We need the cold front approaching from the west to fully get through the region. Rain chances should completely die out in the early-morning hours as drier, more stable air moves in behind the cold front.
