SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
330 PM EDT SUN AUG 31 2003

...A WET WEEK AHEAD...

A FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXTENDED EAST FROM THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI RIVER 
VALLEY ACROSS THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY TO SOUTHERN VIRGINIA THIS 
AFTERNOON.  THE FRONT WILL DRIFT VERY SLOWLY TO THE NORTH DURING THE 
NEXT FEW DAYS AS AREAS OF LOW PRESSURE MOVE ALONG IT FROM WEST TO 
EAST.  THE EXPECTED WEATHER PATTERN SHOULD RESULT IN A RELATIVELY 
WET WEEK FOR MOST OF THE REGION.

SHOWERS ARE FORECAST TO MOVE INTO OUR REGION FROM THE WEST TOWARD 
DAYBREAK ON MONDAY.  THE SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME MORE 
NUMEROUS ON MONDAY AND THAT SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE BE CASE INTO 
MONDAY NIGHT AND MUCH OF TUESDAY.  SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALSO 
POSSIBLE.

THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAY BRING SOME HEAVY RAIN TO OUR 
REGION, ESPECIALLY FROM MONDAY AFTERNOON INTO TUESDAY.  MOST 
LOCATIONS IN EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA, NEW JERSEY, DELAWARE AND 
NORTHEASTERN MARYLAND WILL RECEIVE AT LEAST AN INCH OF RAIN DURING 
THAT PERIOD OF TIME.  SOME HEAVIER THUNDERSTORMS COULD PRODUCE 
RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF TWO TO FOUR INCHES.

THE EXPECTED RAINFALL AMOUNTS COULD RESULT IN FLOODING IN AREAS OF 
POOR DRAINAGE AND ALONG SMALL STREAM AND CREEKS.  IF YOU LIVE IN A 
FLOOD PRONE AREA PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE FORECAST FOR THE NEXT 
FEW DAYS. 

THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH AT 
LEAST WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.  PRESENTLY, IT APPEARS AS THOUGH DRY 
AIR WILL BUILD DOWN FROM THE NORTHWEST FOR NEXT WEEKEND.
