dealing with for the last 24 hours. look at that dark trip there. that is where the most intense rainfall amounts have been during the past 24 hours. i have a little query here so i can show you how much rain has fallen. in charles county, about 10. # inches of rain in parts of charles county -- about 10.8 inches of rain in parts of charles county. you get the idea. wide swath of rainfall totals anywhere between about 6 and 10 inches just to the east of wash. i'm in the including out to the west where we've picked up 3, 4, 5 inches of rain. we continue to seat rain. the heaviest rain to the east of washington as we speak. >> and again, just training along the same areas that we've seen it during the last couple of days. that is a problem. that is why we have the flood warnings in effect

take you live into largo. we just showed you this picture a few moments ago and simply can't believe it. as steve pointed out, if you see a couple of cars that are stuck in water, don't try to drive through it. learn from their mistakes. if you see standing water, turn around and head back in the opposite direction. that is the problem we find during times like this. people think i can make it. you drop know how deep -- you don know how deep that water is. this is 202 at white house road at largo maryland. the roadway remains tied up because of that standing water. you do not want to attempt

yeah, sporadic heavy rain showers here and there down to our south just north of waldorf, west of dunkirk, places like that. that is what is happening now. let's get to the graphics. a couple of things to tell you. we have a flash flood watch in effect for all those coupees you see there in green including here in washington until late tonight. there is a flood warning. there are flood warnings, i will say for many coupees in this region. they vary in length from 8:45 to 9:45 to 10:30. it just depends on where you are and there is a coastal flood advisory in effect until 8:00 this

are seeing that now. highs today, upper 70s to around 80 degrees. coming up, today's edition of ask the weather guys. the question is about coastal flood advisories which we have one in effect today. this person is curious as to why they are under a coastal flood advisory when they are not near the river or the coast. >> a good question. >> we'll tell you in just a little bit. >> very timely for sure. >> let's check some with julie in the meantime and get a look at what is happening on the roads today. they might look like coastal areas. >> i know, right. i'm he following you on twitter and i want to reate rate, retweet if i can on air that you espositoed there have been so far at least 12 water rescues in anne arundel county alone. we'll show you this live picture. before a couple of other people that are stuck right now along 202 at white house road in largo. it is still very dark outside. do not make an attempt to travel through standing water. you don know how deep it is and you dope want to get stuck in this position. sometime it work out for you and sometimes it does not. so if you encounter standing water, just simply turn around and head back in the opposite direction. this is one live shot that we have. 202 white house road there in largo, maryland. let's start mapping out some problems because again, our friends in spring county, charles county, here in upper marlboro are feeling it is effects of the storms that came through last night. that is still under water at this time. a good portion of 301 between route 4 in upper marlboro that remains shut off. flooding closes the marlboro pike between crane highway and 202. also in prince george's county, route one at ritz way between ammendale and mirakirk, that is blocked off. in virginia, we've got a portion of route one tied up right now near sacramento drive out near fort belvoir. that is due to standing water. 95 slowing out of dale city to the occoquan being springfield to the beltway, all of your lanes there or open. trouble on the inner loop in montgomery county. it is the crash involving the jackknifed tractor-trailer. back to the standing water. 28 at avery road. beach drive as expected shut down between the montgomery connie d.c. line because of standing water. accident activity northbound 295 before malcolm x. this one involving an overturned vehicle. only the right lane is able to get you by as you travel into southeast. that's a check of your fox 5 on-time traffic. we've been reporting, prince george's county has been particularly hit hard by the overnight flooding. >> let's get the latest from susan hubbard from the department of public worth and transportation. she is on the phone with us right now. susan, tell us what the situation is, what you know right now. >> well, prince george's county was certainly hit hard as you all have been saying all morning. folk just need to drive with caution. if they see standing water, police don't drive through it. heaven for bid, don't try to walk through it either. we have roadways that are closed as was just mentioned and many of those roadways are state roadways. any roadway number is a state road. but we are working with our counterparts at the state to try to notify them and get the bare barriers up so folks don't drive through them. >> we are seeing that as folk are doing it on the state roads appear county roads. is there any protocol in in place to try to block off the roads if the flooding gets too high and at what level do you do that? >> absolutely. we have had crews out since it started raining yesterday. if the roadway gets up to six inches, we normally block it off. we put up a barrier so that folk can't drive through it and definitely discourage them from trying to walk through it as well. but the state has been inundated and, as, we are trying to work with them to let them know, to help them get the barriers up. >> are there also -- i know a lot of folk are trying to get into work. any advice on alternative routes or things you are trying to do to get people to get to work? >> well, the only thing i can tell you is proceed with caution. there are roadways that are closed. the arterial roadways and roadways with numbers are state roads. whatever you do, don't try to get into the town of upper marlboro. the courthouse is closed. the county administration building is closed. county government is open everplace else vikki vargas for those two buildings. it is just a matter of common sense and to drive with caution. >> it seem like just a couple of days ago we were talking about the same thing with you when it was tough to get into upper marlboro with the hurricane rains that came through recently. >> right. >> but it done look like two mean many people have learned from that -- like too many people have learned from that as folks are still trying to get through it. >> we are americans we have that can-do spirit. unfortunately, we can't always do it. >> we want you to keep them safe out there. we appreciate your time this morning and great advice to. don't do it or find a safer with a around. >> absolutely. . we'll check back in with you. >> seducen, are you still there? okay. we'll hopefully check in with her a little later coming up. we'll take i aquick break. we'll be right back with the latest on all the flooding issues here in our area.  let's take another look at route 202 in largo, marine layer. we keep showing you this picture because it is where our camera this is morning. we can get a grate example of how high the water is in our area. they just started turning folks around here because it is not the only place in the area where high water this morning. >> that is true. that is route 202. but all areas in prince george's countiy, there is issues with ann anne arundel county too. charles county schools are closed today because of the flooding. it is a code two for charles county staff but students do not go to school today. charles continuedy government will open two hours late today. there is a liberal leave policy in effect for employees. prince george's county government is open on time. however, the county administration building and the county courthouse are closed today. there is flooding on first floor of the county administration building in prince george's county. we are looking at other headline today. fairfax county police have identified a suspect in one of serial back side slashing cases in fairfax county. police are looking for 40-year- old johnny pimmental. police think he is driving a blue honda civic with a virginia lance plate of klx 2689. more controversy to d.c. mayor vip gray's administration. his deputy chief of staff resigned yesterday. andy pringle had just been hired last week. she stepped down following reports that she voted in a district primary even though she lives in maryland. a crane collapse a national cathedral. the 500-foot crepe was being used to repair work on the cathedral's central tower after the qoirk. it was being lowered when it crashed hitting a gift shop and crushing four cars. the crane operator had minor injuries. it could be several days before the cause of that collapse is determined. some of the bus stops were noting could be inaccessible. they want parents to use their judgment as to what exactly they thud do with the children for that. >> speaking of prince george's county, as we told you a little bit earlier, this is a flash flood warning now in effect for prince george's county. also for western anne arundel county, central baltimore county and the city of baltimore, nrve hare foarld county, northeastern charles connie and southeastern howard county. all under a flash flood warning. that is until 8:45 this morning. there is a flood warning in effect for anne arundel county, prince george's county, calvert, charles, st. march mary's county until 10:30. flash glad watch in effect for the area until late tonighten a coastal flood advisory in effect until 8:00 this evening for much of the area. -- flash flood watch in effect for the area natural late tonight. we'll show you where the rain is right now. it done have to be raining for flooding to occur. we've had a lot of rain. this water moves down the rivers and streams and all of that. it will take some time. rain could end right now and we would still have flooding problems today into tomorrow. the rain has not ended. what we continue to see is this train effect. rain coming up from the south to the north, generally speaking, east of the i-95 corridor and there are many spots of heavy rain. charles county, some areas of heavy rain as this all moves up to the north. airports, let's take a look at the -- something at the airports, forget what. the rainfall totals we've had during the last couple of days. reagan national, over 5 inches of rain. web, we've been talking so much about the rain, we need the rain. we don't need it. we've made up the numbers now with the significant rainfall that we've had. over 4 inches at dull 6 2/3 inches at bwi marshall. -- over 4 inches at dulles. some of this may actually push over farther to the west later on today. so some of our viewers west of i-95 that have not seep particularly heavy rain could get some batches coming through later. forecast for washington for today, look look this. cloudy skies, periods of showers and thunderstorms. some of the rain will be heavy. highs generally in the mid- to upper 70s. maybe 08 degrees at the airport. for tonight, cloudy skies, some showers continue although i think it may be a little bit better. 68degrees overnight tonight. five-day forecast, we still have at left a chance of rain on every day for this forecast but we think saturday might be pretty teasent with some sunshine. i think -- pretty d.c. went some sunshine. i think saturday is the day where we have a better chance of rain but we have to leave the possible in there because of the pattern that we're in. so there you go. all right. that is i alike at what is happening with the weather. now, it is time for ask the weather guys, the segment where turn and i put our big heads together to answer your most pressing questions weather- related or otherwise. today's question is weather relatedded. it is so timely. it comes from actual nil in fairfax. he wants to know about coastal flood watches and warnings. he writes, i've lived in virginia for 30-plus years and have yet to see a coast in fairfax city. what is meant by coastal flood watches and warnings when there is no coast? excellent question. now, in fairfax city itself, there may not be a coast but these coastal watches, warnings, advisories are issued for the counties and other areas. and we have a coastal flood advisory in effect today and it does include fairfax county. do you want to start or should i start? >> no, take it away. >> coastal flood advisory, watch or warning is underred when some flooding is -- the conditions are good for it or it is likely to occur or it is occurring. coastal areas are not justify the coast along the east coast of the united states, the beaches and south. coastal areas can include the areas of land along the rivers, streams and creeks as well though you dope typically think of that as a coast. it is included under a coastal flood advisory, watch or warning and essentially what it means is there will be flooding wherever we have water. not just the ocean but rivers, streams and creek as well. >> 59% of the time a coastal flood warping is issued in response to high tides. the tides get up into the potomac river as well. in in case, it was because we are expecting high tides. what we are looking at, all of that is what we call fresh water intrusion. that can cause flooding as well. when a coastal flood vied is,ed, it is generally because of tided. or it can be a combination of arraign coming down the river and unusually high tided. >> it might not be raining at all but there could be a big storm out at sea, a hurricane or something like that that will push the water. we can get water being pushed up into the chesapeake bay and that leads to flooding in some of those areas as well. so it doesn't have to be just along the coast. it can be anywhere where we have water. >> thousand this is different than from a flash flood warning and watch than -- >> completely. >> how that is different? >> oh, boy. >> or that is a difficult question? >> because we have a variety of these and we don't have time to answer all of that. a flash flood is when sudden -- you think about the term. it is when sudden flooding begins to occur. we will have a flash flood watch because it is fairly easy to predict, if we get this actual rain, this is going to happen but it happens very quickly. and remember, generally speaking, advisory and then the next serious watch and then the very serious is a warning. that is when it is imminent or occur jim giggans what happened in ellicott city is a perfect example of flash flooding. within an hour, it goes from nothing. >> that is i good question -- that is a good question. good timing for that. yes, you are under a coastal flood advisory. if you have a question, go to myfoxdc.com and click on the weather tab. >> when did we move to seat until it certainly feel like it. >> we might be in a wet pattern for a while. >> okay. see, julie, this is why we hang onto summer as long as we can. >> if i see bella swan or edward cullen, walking around, we're in trouble. >> this is just one of the picture we have of all that standing water tying up your commute this morning. 202 at white house road remains closed off this morning. we had a couple of cars that got stuck out there
