...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON
AND THIS EVENING MAINLY NEAR AND NORTHWEST OF THE NEW JERSEY TURNPIKE
TO INTERSTATE 95 CORRIDOR...
...HEAVY RAINFALL THAT COULD RESULT IN LOCALIZED FLOODING SUNDAY
NIGHT INTO MONDAY IS POSSIBLE...

A SLOW MOVING AND ACTIVE COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE REGION TODAY,
MOVE INTO THE REGION TONIGHT AND EXIT SLOWLY ON MONDAY. INITIALLY,
THE WIND PROFILE, INSTABILITY AND MOISTURE COULD COMBINE TO GENERATE
A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THIS IS
ESPECIALLY TRUE AWAY FROM THE ATLANTIC OCEAN, WHERE COOLER WINDS OFF
THE WATER MAY RETARD SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. 

TONIGHT INTO MONDAY, THE SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE FRONT, THE CONSIDERABLE
AMOUNT OF MOISTURE AND DYNAMIC SUPPORT COULD COMBINE TO CAUSE HEAVY
RAIN THAT COULD CAUSE ROADWAY AND POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING. WIDESPREAD
RAINFALL AMOUNTS AROUND AN INCH ARE FORECAST, WITH LOCAL AMOUNTS IN
EXCESS OF TWO INCHES POSSIBLE. 

STAY TUNED TO LOCAL MEDIA OUTLETS OR NOAA WEATHER RADIO, THE VOICE OF
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE, FOR THE LATEST ON THE APPROACHING
SYSTEM.
