...ISOLATED STRONG THUNDERSTORMS, HEAVY RAIN, AND GUSTY WINDS
POSSIBLE FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...
...BREEZY CONDITIONS EXPECTED ON SATURDAY... 

LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER THE OHIO VALLEY EARLY ON 
FRIDAY. AS THIS SURFACE LOW MOVES NORTH INTO THE GREAT LAKES, A 
SECONDARY LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OFF THE 
MID-ATLANTIC COAST FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THIS LOW IS EXPECTED TO TRACK 
TO THE NORTH AND BE CENTERED OVER THE EASTERN PORTIONS OF CANADA BY 
SATURDAY MORNING.

RAIN, HEAVY AT TIMES, IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP FROM SOUTH TO NORTH ON 
FRIDAY. DELMARVA, SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY, AND SOUTHEAST PORTIONS OF 
PENNSYLVANIA SHOULD SEE THE PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN DURING THE 
AFTERNOON HOURS WHILE NORTHERN NEW JERSEY AND EAST CENTRAL PORTIONS 
OF PENNSYLVANIA SHOULD SEE THE PERIODS OF HEAVIEST RAIN LATE IN THE 
DAY ON FRIDAY AND INTO THE EVENING HOURS. IN BOTH CASES, HEAVY RAIN 
COULD BE FALLING DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING COMMUTE. 

IF THIS FAST MOVING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM REMAINS OFFSHORE AS 
EXPECTED, GENERAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS SHOULD NOT EXCEED 3/4 OF AN  
INCH. OTHER THAN POOR DRAINAGE OR LOW-LYING ROADWAY FLOODING, CREEK 
OR RIVER FLOODING IS NOT ANTICIPATED. CONTINUE TO STAY ABREAST OF 
THE LATEST FORECAST. IF THE TRACK OF THE LOW DRIFTS FURTHER TO THE 
WEST, MORE RAIN IS POSSIBLE.

BESIDES HEAVY RAIN, ISOLATED STRONG THUNDERSTORMS CONTAINING LARGE 
HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS COULD OCCUR TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND EVENING. 
EVEN OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORMS, THE WIND WILL BE NOTICEABLE AS THE 
LOW BEGINS TO STRENGTHEN. BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL EXIST FROM TOMORROW 
AFTERNOON RIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY. IT'S NOT OUT OF THE REALM OF 
POSSIBILITY THAT WIND DAMAGE COULD OCCUR EVEN IF THUNDERSTORMS DON'T 
DEVELOP IN YOUR AREA. TREES STILL HAVE A FULL CANOPY, OR MOST OF 
THEIR LEAVES, AND IF THE SOILS BECOME SATURATED FROM HEAVY RAIN, 
WIND SPEEDS APPROACHING ONLY 35 MPH COULD EITHER BREAK WEAKENED LIMBS
OR UPROOT TREES THEMSELVES.     
      
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE POTENTIAL 
FOR ADVERSE WEATHER AND ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS WILL BE ISSUED AS 
NEEDED.
