...HEAVY RAINS COULD CAUSE FLOODING IN POOR DRAINAGE AREAS EARLY THIS
MORNING...

TROPICAL STORM GASTON WAS LOCATED 75 MILES SOUTHEAST OF ATLANTIC CITY
THIS MORNING AND WAS HEADED OUT TO SEA. ONE LAST SPIRAL BAND OF HEAVY
RAIN ASSOCIATED WITH THE STORM WAS EXTENDING FROM NEW YORK CITY
SOUTHWEST THROUGH CENTRAL BURLINGTON COUNTY AND THEN SOUTHWARD INTO
DELAWARE BAY. 

HEAVY RAINS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SPIRAL BAND COULD PRODUCE RAINFALL
AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 2 INCHES IN AN HOURS TIME. THIS COULD CAUSE FLOODING
OF POOR DRAINAGE AREAS AND AFFECT THE MORNING COMMUTE IN PORTIONS OF
CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY.

REMEMBER NOT TO DRIVE THROUGH FLOODED AREAS...THE WATER MAY BE DEEPER
THAN YOU THINK.

THE RAINS WILL GRADUALLY DISSIPATE AND COME TO AN END LATER THIS
MORNING...BUT BEFORE IT DOES...IT COULD SHIFT TO THE EAST OVER THE
COASTAL AREAS OF NEW JERSEY.
