...HEAVY RAINFALL AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED FRIDAY NIGHT INTO
SATURDAY...

A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE GULF COAST STATES EARLY THIS MORNING 
WILL INTENSIFY AS IT MOVES NORTHEAST. MOISTURE IS PLENTIFUL WITH THIS
STORM SYSTEM AND IT WILL AFFECT OUR REGION STARTING LATER TONIGHT AND
CONTINUING INTO SATURDAY.  THE LOW IS EXPECTED TO BRING HEAVY
RAINFALL AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS TO THE NEW JERSEY COASTLINE,
SOUTHEASTERN NEW JERSEY, CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN DELAWARE AND ADJACENT
PORTIONS OF THE MARYLAND EASTERN SHORE.  THE STORM SYSTEM WILL SLOWLY
PULL AWAY TO THE NORTHEAST ON SUNDAY. 

ALTHOUGH THE REGION'S SANDY SOIL AND GOOD DRAINAGE SHOULD PRECLUDE 
ANY WIDESPREAD FLOODING, THERE MAY BE SOME URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE 
FLOODING DURING TIMES OF HEAVY RAINFALL, AND SOME TIDAL FLOODING 
COULD OCCUR IF HEAVY RAIN FALLS NEAR TIMES OF HIGH TIDES. 

PEOPLE IN THE REGION SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO ADDITIONAL WEATHER 
FORECASTS. THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILL MONITOR THIS SITUATION 
AND ISSUE ANY STATEMENTS, WATCHES OR WARNINGS IF THEY BECOME 
NECESSARY.
