After the heavy rain that led to flooding in several areas along the shores of the Chesapeake Bay, the Potomac River and the Atlantic coast, the D.C. area is not in the clear just yet. Here’s what you need to know to start your Halloween weekend.

The bulk of Friday’s rainfall concluded by early Saturday, but tidal and coastal flooding continues with moderate to major flooding in the forecast through at least Saturday, the National Weather Service said. A flood warning remains in effect for parts of Prince George’s County, Maryland, until 7:30 a.m. Saturday.

Rivers will be running high from Friday’s rain, and with the chance of a few more showers Saturday, some larger streams and small rivers will continue to rise.

Watches and Warnings

In Maryland, parts of Prince George’s and west central Anne Arundel counties and southern Baltimore are under a flood warning through the weekend.
In Virginia, Fairfax, Prince William, Manassas, Manassas Park, and Stafford are under a flood warning until Saturday at 8 a.m.
A coastal flood warning for the Chesapeake Bay and the tidal Potomac remains in effect through the weekend for some areas.

On Friday, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan declared a state of emergency for areas that are under a coastal flood warning throughout the weekend.

The highest tides in 10 to 20 years are expected, with threats including the inundation of water on roads, sidewalks, docks, marinas, and residential and commercial areas, a news release from Hogan’s office said. The National Weather Service forecast that the region could see the worst tidal flooding since Hurricane Isabel in 2003.

In addition, watch out for slick roads in may locations.
