...POTENTIAL FOR VERY HEAVY RAIN WHICH MAY RESULT IN LOCALIZED
FLOODING...

EXCEPT FOR SOME SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS YESTERDAY AFTERNOON, THE
REGION HAS BEEN RELATIVELY DRY FOR A WEEK. HOWEVER, THE POTENTIAL IS
INCREASING FOR RAIN TO DEVELOP ON MONDAY, AND BECOME HEAVY DURING THE
LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. 

THE NECESSARY INGREDIENTS FOR A PERIOD OF VERY HEAVY RAIN ARE LINING
UP ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. A COLD
FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST LATE MONDAY AND STALL OVER THE
REGION. MEANWHILE, THE MOISTURE FROM GASTON IS FORECAST TO RIDE NORTH
ALONG THE FRONT. THE RESULT WILL BE A PROLONGED PERIOD OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS, SOME WITH HEAVY RAINFALL. AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 2 INCHES
WILL BE COMMON, WITH PERHAPS LOCALIZED AMOUNTS OF 3 INCHES. 

AT THIS TIME THE AREAS MOST LIKELY TO RECEIVE THE HEAVIEST RAINS WILL
BE SOUTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA, NORTHEAST MARYLAND, DELAWARE AND CENTRAL
AND SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY.

IF YOU LIVE IN A LOCATION THAT IS PRONE TO FLOODING, PAY SPECIAL 
ATTENTION TO THE FORECASTS AND OTHER PRODUCTS THAT ARE ISSUED DURING 
THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS. THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILL CONTINUE TO 
CLOSELY MONITOR THIS DEVELOPING SITUATION.
