Heavy rains overnight into Thursday, September 29, triggered flash flooding in northern and central Virginia. Three inches of rain had fallen by the morning, according to local reports. A break in the rain was expected on Thursday morning, but more heavy rain was expected by afternoon. A flash-flood watch remains in effect until Friday. The flooding that accompanied the rain closed roads through the area.
