It's likely to rain tonight, and probably every evening this weekend. The National Weather Service has gone ahead and issued a Flash Flood Watch for the greater metro area from 2 p.m. to midnight tonight, thanks to already-wet soil poised to meet heavy, sudden rainfall again this evening. The Capital Weather Gang explains that this low pressure system actually has nothing to with Danny, though.

Oh yeah, there's another severe thunderstorm watch from the National Weather Service in effect, this time until 8 p.m. There's also another flash flood watch that will last until the wee hours of the morning on Friday. But you knew that already. Because these storms won't ever. effing. stop.

Looks like we've got round two of this morning's crazy storms heading our way. The National Weather Service has issued a severe thunderstorm watch until 9 p.m., along with a flash flood watch until 11 p.m. for the D.C. metro area. The current estimate is that this storm activity will get going in full force by about 5 p.m., so hold on to your hats on those evening commutes, and seriously, don't attempt to drive through flooded roadways. Also watch out for potentially pretty sizable hail.
