SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
325 PM EDT MON JUL 28 2003

...THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH THIS EVENING...

A COLD FRONT MOVED DOWN INTO NORTHEASTERN MARYLAND, DELAWARE AND 
EXTREME SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY THIS MORNING.  THE FRONT WILL REMAIN 
STALLED OVER THE REGION INTO THIS EVENING.  SHOWERS AND 
THUNDERSTORMS WHICH HAVE ALREADY FORMED WEST OF THE AREA WILL 
CONTINUE TO RIDE ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY.

SOME OF THE THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BE ACCOMPANIED BY HEAVY RAIN.  
RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF AN INCH OR TWO COULD FALL IN A VERY SHORT PERIOD 
OF TIME.  THE HEAVY RAIN COULD LEAD TO FLOODING IN AREAS OF POOR 
DRAINAGE.

THE COUNTIES THAT ARE MOST LIKELY TO RECEIVE SOME HEAVY RAIN INCLUDE 
KENT, QUEEN ANNE'S, TALBOT AND CAROLINE IN NORTHEASTERN MARYLAND, 
KENT AND SUSSEX IN DELAWARE, AND CUMBERLAND, ATLANTIC AND CAPE MAY 
IN NEW JERSEY. OF THESE, THE GREATEST THREAT SHOULD BE ACROSS TALBOT 
AND CAROLINE COUNTIES IN MARYLAND AND SUSSEX COUNTY IN DELAWARE.

AS THE NIGHT WEARS ON...THE COLD FRONT WILL BEGIN TO MOVE TO THE 
SOUTH AGAIN BRINGING AN END TO THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN AT THAT 
TIME.

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