...ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...

THE SAME MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS THAT WAS OVER THE AREA YESTERDAY 
IS STILL IN PLACE TODAY...AND WILL REMAIN FOR SEVERAL MORE DAYS. 
THUS WITH DAYTIME HEATING...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE AGAIN 
FORMING THIS AFTERNOON OVER MANY INLAND LOCATIONS. THE ONLY PLACE 
THAT MAY AVOID THE RAIN IS THE IMMEDIATE COASTAL AREA. 

MANY OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS WILL PRODUCE HEAVY DOWNPOURS THAT MAY 
CAUSE LOCALIZED FLOODING IN AREAS OF POOR DRAINAGE...OR PONDING OF 
WATER ON ROADWAYS. THE HEAVY DOWNPOURS WILL ALSO REDUCE VISIBILITIES 
OVER A SHORT DISTANCE. IF TRAVELING...BE ALERT FOR CHANGING WEATHER 
CONDITIONS. REMEMBER...IF FLOODING DOES OCCUR...DO NOT DRIVE OR WALK 
THROUGH FLOODED AREAS SINCE THE WATER MAY BE DEEPER THAN YOU THINK.

A FEW THUNDERSTORMS COULD ALSO PRODUCE DAMAGING WINDS...ALTHOUGH 
HEAVY RAIN WILL BE MUCH MORE COMMON. ALSO...ANY THUNDERSTORMS IS 
CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DANGEROUS CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING.  IF A 
THUNDERSTORMS APPROACHES...SEEK SHELTER INDOORS.  

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO AND OTHER LOCAL MEDIA FOR FURTHER 
DETAILS OR UPDATES. FOR ADDITIONAL WEATHER INFORMATION...CHECK OUR
