NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
1123 PM EST WED NOV 5 2003

...THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE SOUTHERN 
EASTERN MARYLAND SHORE...SUSSEX COUNTY DELAWARE...AND CAPE MAY AND 
EASTERN ATLANTIC COUNTIES IN NEW JERSEY...
 
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...SOME WITH VERY HEAVY RAIN...WILL 
CONTINUE TO MOVE INTO AND THROUGH THE AREA DURING THE EARLY 
OVERNIGHT PERIOD. WINDS WITH SOME OF THE THUNDERSTORMS ESPECIALLY IN 
SUSSEX COUNTY DELAWARE COULD BE IN THE 35 TO 45 MILE AN HOUR RANGE. 
THE STORMS HAVE HAD A HISTORY OF PRODUCING UP TO TWO AND A HALF 
INCHES OF RAIN IN AN HOUR OR SO...WHICH HAS CAUSED POOR DRAINAGE AND 
ROAD FLOODING. 

IN ADDITION TO THE HEAVY RAIN...FREQUENT LIGHTNING WILL ACCOMPANY 
THESE STORMS. 
 
IF YOU HAVE TRAVEL PLANS OVERNIGHT...TAKE ROADS THAT ARE NOT PRONE 
TO POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING IF POSSIBLE. IN ADDITION...FALLEN LEAVES 
WILL NOT ONLY MAKE ROADS SLIPPERY...BUT ALSO IMPEDE THE DRAINAGE OF 
THE HEAVY RAIN INTO CATCH BASINS. IF POSSIBLE...DO NOT PARK YOUR 
VEHICLE UNDER TREES. IF STRONG WINDS OCCUR...THEY MIGHT TEAR DOWN 
SOME WEAK OR DISEASED LIMBS OR TREES.
