We expect 1-3" of rain in the immediate DC area thru Wednesday night; with some localized flooding issues. But more significant flooding issues possible west and northwest toward I-81 where 3-6"+ possible. (2/x) 
River flooding will become a concern by Thursday due to all of the rain not only falling from this event but we've had more than twice the normal rainfall this month. Major flooding forecast for Monocacy River in Frederick. (3/x) Graphic via @NWSMARFC
There is a legitimate chance of tornadoes in the region Wednesday afternoon and evening. @NWSSPC has placed in level 3 out 5 "enhanced" risk zone which is unusual for our area. Will definitely be a time to be weather-aware. (4/x)
Once we get passed Wednesday night, we'll have several days of MUCH nicer weather... low humidity, cooler temps and sunny skies. (5/5)
