...THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR DOWNPOURS WHICH MAY RESULT IN LOCALIZED
FLOODING...

ANY LOCALITIES THAT RECEIVE DOWNPOURS COULD SEE FLOODING IN POOR
DRAINAGE AREAS. REMEMBER NOT TO DRIVE THROUGH FLOODED AREAS...THE
WATER MAY BE DEEPER THAN YOU THINK. 

A COLD FRONT OVER THE LOWER GREAT LAKES WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST THROUGH
EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA EARLY TONIGHT REACHING THE PHILADELPHIA
METROPOLITAN AREA AROUND MIDNIGHT AND MOVING OFF THE COAST EARLY
TUESDAY. IN ADDITION...THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL STORM GASTON ARE
FORECAST TO JOIN WITH THE COLD FRONT AS IT MOVES THROUGH SOUTHERN NEW
JERSEY AND DELMARVA. 

TROPICAL MOISTURE COVERS THE REGION AND IT WILL REMAIN IN PLACE UNTIL
THE COLD FRONT MOVES EAST. THIS MEANS THAT ANY SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP COULD CONTAIN TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS.
ALSO...AS THE REMNANTS OF GASTON MOVE THROUGH DELMARVA AND SOUTHERN
NEW JERSEY TONIGHT...THE AREA OF HEAVY RAIN COULD BECOME MORE
WIDESPREAD.

RAINFALL AMOUNTS SHOULD GENERALLY BE AROUND AN INCH, BUT LOCALIZED
AMOUNTS UP TO 3 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE. THIS HEAVY RAIN COULD CAUSE
FLOODING IN POOR DRAINAGE AREAS.

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