The National Weather Service wants people in Fairfax County to prepare for storms today (Monday).
The area is under a Flash Flood Watch from 3-9 p.m. and a Severe Thunderstorm Watch from now until 11 p.m.
More from NWS about the Flash Flood Watch:
Thunderstorms will develop this afternoon and continue this evening along the I-95 corridor. Some areas may experience multiple thunderstorms through this evening. Rainfall amounts of 1-2 inches are possible, with some isolated amounts over 3 inches possible. This amount of rain over urban areas may lead to instances of flash flooding, as well as a potential for creeks and streams to rise rapidly if some of the higher amounts are realized.
Another, possibly stronger and more widespread round of thunderstorms is expected this afternoon/evening. A Flash Flood Watch is in effect for the areas highlighted in green on map 1. Also, the threat level for severe weather has been increased across the areas in yellow on map 2 pic.twitter.com/JvPr1GcDKO
