THROUGH DELAWARE AND SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY TODAY.

SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL PREVAIL THIS MORNING. ONCE THE WARM FRONT
MOVES CLOSER TO THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON, MORE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE EXPECTED AND SOME HEAVY RAIN IS POSSIBLE
INTO THIS EVENING.

SINCE THE GROUND IS QUITE MOIST FROM LAST NIGHTS RAINFALL, THE HEAVY
RAIN COULD CAUSE FLOODING OF SMALL STREAMS AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS.

IF YOU LIVE NEAR A STREAM OR CREEK, PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE LATEST
FORECASTS. IF TRAVELING, BE PREPARED FOR AREAS OF HEAVY RAIN, WHICH 
WILL CAUSE PONDING OF WATER ON THE ROADS, ESPECIALLY THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING.

AS A REMINDER, NEVER DRIVE ACROSS A ROAD WHICH IS COVERED BY WATER.
THE WATER CAN BE DEEPER THAN YOU THINK, THEREFORE TURN AROUND AND
FIND AN ALTERNATE ROUTE.

FURTHER UPDATES.
