WASHINGTON, D.C. - Keep an umbrella nearby Saturday as showers and thunderstorms move through D.C., Maryland and northern Virginia, with some storms capable of producing heavy rain.
What to expect Saturday
What we know:
The National Weather Service says showers and thunderstorms could continue through the afternoon, with another round possible late Saturday night into early Sunday.
The greatest potential for heavier rain is generally southeast of the Interstate 95 corridor. Forecast rainfall totals in that area could reach 1 to 2 inches, with locally higher amounts possible.
The weather service said isolated flash flooding is possible if heavier rain sets up over the same area for an extended period. There were no flood watches in effect for D.C., Maryland or Virginia as of Saturday morning.

Where flooding is most likely
What they're saying:
Forecasters said the main area of concern is south and east of the D.C. and Baltimore metro areas, though the heavier rain axis could shift.
St. Mary’s County may be more vulnerable because of recent heavy rain, the weather service said. Flash flooding could also become a concern if the heaviest rain moves farther north into the metro area.
What happens Sunday
What's next:
A cold front is expected to cross the region Sunday morning, allowing conditions to gradually dry out through the day.
Sunday is expected to turn mostly sunny, with lower humidity and highs around the low 80s. Dry, more comfortable conditions are forecast to continue into early next week.
