...PERIODS OF RAIN TODAY AND TONIGHT WILL BE FOLLOWED BY A STRONG 
COLD FRONT THURSDAY MORNING...

A WARM FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE SOUTH TODAY AND MOVE THROUGH THE 
AREA LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT, BRINGING OCCASIONAL RAIN. THE 
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION THURSDAY MORNING. 
THE COLD FRONT WILL FEATURE A GOOD AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY, WITH 
STRONG WINDS JUST OFF THE SURFACE. ANY THUNDERSTORMS, OR EVEN 
SHOWERS, COULD PRODUCE LOCALIZED STRONG WIND GUSTS AT THE GROUND 
LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY THURSDAY MORNING. 

ALTHOUGH MOSTLY LIGHT RAIN IS EXPECTED TODAY, A FEW AREAS OF 
MODERATE RAIN UP TO A QUARTER OF AN INCH COULD OCCUR. TRAVEL MAY BE 
SLOWED BY THE RAIN TODAY INTO EARLY TONIGHT, AS SOME WATER WILL POND 
ON AREA ROADWAYS. ANY LEFTOVER LEAVES COMBINED WITH THE RAIN WILL 
MAKE AREA ROADS MORE SLIPPERY. ALSO, ANY LEAVES ALONG ROADSIDES CAN 
BLOCK STORM DRAINS AND CAUSE ADDITIONAL PONDING OF WATER.

STRONG WINDS AND AREAS OF SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS LATE TONIGHT AND 
EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING COULD DO MORE TO HAMPER TRAVEL, BOTH ON LAND 
AND IN THE AIR. AFTER THE FRONT MOVES OFFSHORE AND TAKES THE BULK OF 
THE MOISTURE WITH IT, CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE DURING THANKSGIVING 
DAY, ALTHOUGH IT WILL REMAIN BLUSTERY. MUCH COLDER AIR WILL ENTER 
THE REGION THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND ESPECIALLY THURSDAY NIGHT.

IF YOU WILL BE TRAVELING TODAY INTO THURSDAY, ALLOW SOME EXTRA TIME 
TO REACH YOUR DESTINATION, AS THIS WEATHER SYSTEM WILL BE AFFECTING 
THE ENTIRE EAST COAST. IF DRIVING, USE CAUTION ON THE HIGHWAYS AS 
THEY WILL BE WET FROM THE RAIN. LEAVE EXTRA BRAKING DISTANCE BETWEEN 
YOU AND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF YOU.

FOR THE LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION AND UPDATES, STAY TUNED TO NOAA
WEATHER RADIO, OR YOUR LOCAL MEDIA OUTLET.
