...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WITH LOCALLY VERY HEAVY RAIN POSSIBLE 
THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT...

A COLD FRONT DRAPED ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT 
WILL AID IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A COUPLE OF THUNDERSTORMS. WITH AN 
ABUNDANCE OF MOISTURE IN THE ATMOSPHERE, ESPECIALLY ACROSS SOUTHEAST 
PENNSYLVANIA, CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY, DELAWARE AND 
NORTHEAST MARYLAND, ANY THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING 
LOCALLY VERY HEAVY RAINFALL.

LOCALIZED RAINFALL RATES OF AN INCH OR TWO PER HOUR ARE POSSIBLE 
WITH SOME OF THE THUNDERSTORMS. IF HEAVY RAIN OCCURS, THIS WILL 
LIKELY RESULT IN FLOODING IN AREAS OF POOR DRAINAGE AND ALONG SMALL 
STREAMS AND CREEKS. REMEMBER, NEVER DRIVE ACROSS A ROADWAY WHICH IS 
COVERED BY WATER. IF YOU LIVE IN AN AREA THAT IS PRONE TO FLOODING, 
ESPECIALLY LOCATIONS WHICH HAVE RECEIVED HEAVY RAIN OVER THE PAST 
FEW DAYS, BE SURE TO MONITOR THE LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION.

WHILE WIDESPREAD SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOT ANTICIPATED THIS 
AFTERNOON AND EVENING, AN ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORM CANNOT BE 
RULED OUT. THE MAIN THREAT WOULD BE A DAMAGING WIND GUST. AS A 
REMINDER, DANGEROUS CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING IS ALWAYS A THREAT 
WITH ANY THUNDERSTORM. 

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO, THE VOICE OF THE NATIONAL WEATHER 
SERVICE, OR YOUR LOCAL MEDIA OUTLETS FOR FURTHER DETAILS OR UPDATES.
