What the National Weather Service wrote

High water was reported near the intersection of Commonwealth Avenue and East Glebe Road.

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 Potomac Yard (38.8351, -77.0577).
