What the National Weather Service wrote

Several roads were closed due to a few feet of standing water, including near the Intersection of King Street and North Union Street.

The wider storm

An upper-level trough was overhead while a weak boundary was stalled nearby. Plenty of moisture around high pressure over the Atlantic led to the development of showers and thunderstorms. With slower storm motion, this led to instances of flooding and flash flooding.

Began near Alexandria (38.8019, -77.0434).
