AN AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAS BEEN MOVING VERY SLOWLY 
NORTHEAST FROM VIRGINIA AND MARYLAND. THESE STORMS PRODUCED VERY 
HEAVY RAINFALL WHEN THEY MOVED THROUGH WEST VIRGINIA AND VIRGINIA  
EARLIER TODAY. IN SOME CASES IN EXCESS OF FOUR INCHES. THE LEADING 
EDGE HAS SHOWN SIGNS OF WEAKENING AS THEY APPROACH MARYLANDS 
NORTHEASTERN SHORE. HOWEVER... STORMS FARTHER SOUTH REMAIN STRONG 
AND IF THEY DO MAKE IT THIS FAR NORTH...THEY COULD BE ACCOMPANIED BY 
VERY HEAVY DOWNPOURS. 

RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 2 INCHES IN SOME ISOLATED AREAS WOULD NOT BE
OUT OF THE QUESTION. 

AS OF 300 PM...LIGHT SHOWERS EXTENDED INTO CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA...
AND THEY BECOME HEAVIER CROSSING THE MARYLAND BORDER...DOWN THE WEST
SIDE OF THE CHESAPEAKE BAY.

MOST OF EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND WESTERN NEW JERSEY MAY NOT RECEIVE
ANY RAINFALL UNTIL AROUND MIDNIGHT. 

WITH HOLIDAY ACTIVITIES PLANNED IN MANY LOCATIONS PLEASE PERIODICALLY
CHECK THE FORECAST OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS FOR ANY CHANGES.
REMEMBER...ALL THUNDERSTORMS ARE ACCOMPANIED BY LIGHTNING.
