SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT     
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
720 PM EST WED NOV 5 2003

...THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION...

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...SOME WITH VERY HEAVY RAIN WILL MOVE 
ACROSS THE REGION FOR THE REST OF THIS EVENING. HEAVY DOWNPOURS 
RESULTING IN POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING AND WIND GUSTS UP TO ABOUT 35 
MPH WILL ACCOMPANY THE STRONGER STORMS. RAINFALL RATES OF UP TO 
THREE INCHES PER HOUR HAVE BEEN OCCURRING WITH THESE STORMS IN THE
NORTHERN DELMARVA PENINSULA AND THE PHILADELPHIA WESTERN SUBURBS.
THIS HAS ALREADY CAUSED CONSIDERABLE POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING IN THE 
AREA.

IF YOU HAVE TRAVELING PLANS FOR THE REST OF THE EVENING...IF 
POSSIBLE...TAKE ROADS THAT ARE NOT PRONE TO POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING. 
IN ADDITION...FALLEN LEAVES WILL NOT ONLY MAKE ROADS SLIPPERY...BUT 
ALSO IMPEDE THE DRAINAGE OF THE HEAVY RAIN INTO CATCH BASINS.
