It is not just South Florida enduring heavy rain as this weekend comes to a close. Flooding rain continues to stream across the mid-Atlantic.

A train of torrential rain remains in place from Norfolk, Va., to Baltimore, Md., to near Harrisburg, Pa.

Vehicles stalled out and Route 50 became flooded as the heavy rain poured down across Talbot, Md., earlier today.

More flooding incidents are sure to result throughout the mid-Atlantic, especially in low-lying and poor drainage areas with an additional 2 to 6 inches of rain expected to fall.

A handful of the thunderstorms accompanying the rain will turn severe with damaging winds and an isolated tornado. Earlier today, a waterspout developed near Cobb Island, Md.

Drier weather will return on Monday.
