Heaviest strip via radar and PWS is from Frederick down just west of 270 to ~CIA HQ and then into north Arlington.  3-5" in a short timeframe.  That is awesome stuff.  I'm over 2" so far.  What a beast.
 
Instantaneous and total in the two right columns.

Wicked stuff. Radar is estimating 2.5” for my location and I doubt it’s super wrong. That would be in less than an hour.

This is turning into a June 2006-like event.  Absolutely massive.  Some Mclean PWSs topping 6" now.

Thank goodness this cluster is moving a bit - I remember in June 2006 it would just keep training. 

The rates are crazy this morning.

I was checking out the crazy pictures on WTOP and they had this blurb at the end of the article :o

All eyes turn to the south next weekend, where forecast models are hinting at a possible tropical cyclone in the Gulf of Mexico.  Long-range forecasts are hardly a given, but any storm that does develop in the gulf will need to be monitored for weather impacts in the D.C. region early next week.
