12z HRRR blows up robust convection for the DC/Baltimore corridor especially in the 0-2z timeframe. PWATS near 2 inches in parts of the area...would think flooding risk with this activity - even if not super slow moving. Creek near the house rose to around 8ft during the other night's heavy rainfall. Highest in the past few years. 

Took a ride on the NW Branch trail here in Hyattsville and Riverdale and the streams are already higher than normal. I could see the extent of the flooding from the previous storms. Parts of the trail was washed over with sand and debris. Won't take much to flood again.

Thanks. I will use that link. We're both near the NW Branch trail. My house is about a tenth of a mile from it. However, my house is way up on a hill. It would take a biblical flood and the creek would still not reach me. I live just before the creek hits the low lands at University BLVD. I never have to worry about flooding.

Same general setup here. On a hill and away from the trail by a good bit. Can definitely hear the roar of the stream/creek when it gets high though. My friends and I found a fish well up into the branches of a tree after the June 2006 flooding. I don't think I've seen water levels that high since then.
