...THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...

VERY HUMID AIR HAS SETTLED OVER EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA, NEW JERSEY, 
DELAWARE AND EASTERN MARYLAND.  WITH THE HEAT OF THE AFTERNOON 
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL AGAIN DEVELOP THROUGHOUT THE REGION.

SOME OF THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY VERY HEAVY RAIN. 
RAINFALL TOTALS OF TWO TO THREE INCHES ARE POSSIBLE IN THE HEAVIEST 
THUNDERSTORMS.  MUCH OF THE RAIN WILL FALL WITHIN A PERIOD OF AN 
HOUR OR TWO AND THAT WILL CAUSE FLOODING IN AREAS OF POOR DRAINAGE 
AND ALONG SMALL STREAMS AND CREEKS.

IF YOU LIVE IN AN AREA THAT IS PRONE TO FLOODING BE PREPARED FOR 
RAPIDLY RISING WATER IF A THUNDERSTORM AFFECTS YOUR LOCATION.

DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE THROUGH FLOOD WATERS, THE WATER MAY BE 
DEEPER THAN YOU THINK IT IS.

ALONG WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN, THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE 
ACCOMPANIED BY FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING.  SOME OF THE 
STORMS MAY ALSO PRODUCE DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND HAIL.

IF YOU OBSERVE THREATENING WEATHER, SEEK SHELTER AT ONCE.

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILL CONTINUE TO CLOSELY MONITOR THIS 
DEVELOPING WEATHER SITUATION.
