Narrative:
After departing runway 30 at iad we encountered gusty winds, turbulence and thunderstorm cells on the departure path. We delayed our flaps 1 degree retraction to make a 30 degree bank turn in avoidance of a build-up and then became saturated with radio calls, radar operations and WX avoidance. I (the PNF) missed the captain's 'flaps up' call. (I believe I was talking to ATC) our speed reached approximately 250 KTS before I realized my mistake. We immediately reduced our speed to 230 KTS and retracted the flaps. Once at cruise we notified maintenance and made a logbook write-up of the flap overspd.

WE DELAYED OUR FLAPS 1 DEG RETRACTION TO MAKE A 30 DEG BANK TURN IN AVOIDANCE OF A BUILD-UP AND THEN BECAME SATURATED WITH RADIO CALLS, RADAR OPS AND WX AVOIDANCE. I (THE PNF) MISSED THE CAPT'S 'FLAPS UP' CALL. (I BELIEVE I WAS TALKING TO ATC) OUR SPD REACHED APPROX 250 KTS BEFORE I REALIZED MY MISTAKE. WE IMMEDIATELY REDUCED OUR SPD TO 230 KTS AND RETRACTED THE FLAPS. ONCE AT CRUISE WE NOTIFIED MAINT AND MADE A LOGBOOK WRITE-UP OF THE FLAP OVERSPD.
