Silver Spring is drained by Sligo Creek and its tributaries, which have a documented history of flash flooding during intense summer thunderstorms amplified by the area's dense urban impervious surfaces. Rock Creek passes through the western edge of Silver Spring's watershed and contributes additional stormwater runoff during major storm events. The area's transitional Mid-Atlantic climate produces intense summer convective storms and occasional winter ice storms that cause roof damage and frozen pipe failures.
