...RAW WET DAY ACROSS THE REGION WITH RAIN HEAVY AT TIMES...

A WEAK FRONT MOVED THROUGH THIS MORNING ACCOMPANIED BY LIGHT RAIN
AND TEMPERATURES ABOVE FREEZING. THE FRONT EXTENDS BACK TOWARD
THE APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS WHERE LOW PRESSURE WILL FORM LATER TODAY.
THE LOW WILL TRACK TO THE COAST AND MOVE OFFSHORE BUT NOT BEFORE
SPREADING A STEADY COLD RAIN ACROSS THE REGION. THE LOW WILL MOVE
OFF THE COAST AFTER MIDNIGHT AND THE RAIN WILL TAPER OFF IN THE EARLY
MORNING HOURS SATURDAY. 

RAINFALL TOTALS TODAY WILL BE GENERALLY 1 TO 1 1/2 INCHES WITH
LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS OF 2 INCHES. THIS WILL CAUSE SOME LOCALIZED 
STREET AND HIGHWAY FLOODING IN POOR DRAINAGE AREAS, AND CAUSE RAPID
RISES ON SOME OF THE SMALLER AND FLASHIER STREAMS AND CREEKS. THE 
HEAVIEST RAIN IS EXPECTED JUST AFTER NOONTIME AND WILL EXTEND 
THROUGH THE EVENING RUSH HOUR WITH THE AREAS TO THE SOUTH AND EAST 
OF THE DELAWARE VALLEY RECEIVING THE MOST. THE RUSH HOUR COULD BE 
SLOW AND AT TIMES AT A CRAWL DUE TO PONDING ON THE HIGHWAYS. 

PERSONS LIVING NEAR THE STREAMS AND CREEKS THAT ARE MOST VULNERABLE
TO FLOODING SHOULD CHECK THE FORECAST LATER TODAY FOR UPDATES AND ANY
FLOOD WARNINGS THAT MAY BE ISSUED. 

PERSONS TRAVELING FARTHER NORTH INTO THE LEHIGH VALLEY, SOUTHERN
POCONOS AND NORTHWEST NEW JERSEY SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THE RAIN MAY
CHANGE TO SNOW AS COLDER AIR FILTERS INTO THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS 
WITH POSSIBLY A FEW INCHES OF SNOW ACCUMULATIONS TONIGHT.
