An expected tropical storm is brewing off the southeast U.S. and is set to make its way up the coast and right over the D.C. area. It will bring with it heavy rain and strong winds.

The rain is expected to start late tonight but the storm will be at its peak Saturday afternoon and evening.

Here in Arlington, flooding along the coastline is expected Saturday, and local streams may also top their banks due to several inches of rain. The wind, meanwhile, could cause some power outage.

1. Thank you, I loved Mark Trail. Looks like this storm might come right up the Chesapeake Bay

We should get some of it here in New Castle County Delaware. But it looks like DC might be worse. Stay safe
