...HEAVY RAIN AND POSSIBLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...

LOW PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS WILL INTENSIFY AS IT 
MOVES TO VIRGINIA LATE TODAY. THE LOW WILL THEN SLOWLY MOVE INTO 
PENNSYLVANIA BY SUNDAY MORNING AND NEW YORK SUNDAY NIGHT.

THIS IS A VERY WET SYSTEM AND WILL BRING A DRENCHING RAIN TO THE
REGION WITH AMOUNTS AVERAGING AROUND 1.5 TO 3 INCHES. THE SOUTHERN
PART OF THE AREA IS LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE THUNDERSTORMS, AND SOME MAY
BECOME SEVERE ESPECIALLY OVER TALBOT AND QUEEN ANNES COUNTY OF
MARYLAND, LOWER KENT AND SUSSEX COUNTIES DELAWARE, AND ACROSS THE
DELAWARE BAY TO CAPE MAY.

MINOR TIDAL FLOODING IS ALSO FORECAST AND IF THE HEAVY RAIN FALLS AS
THE TIDE IS COMING IN, THERE WILL BE ADDITIONAL WATER ON THE
ROADWAYS.

WINDS COULD REACH 30 TO 40 MPH AND THIS WOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO BRING
DOWN POWER LINES AND TREES WITH THE GROUND BEING AS SATURATED AS IT
IS. 

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CONTINUES TO MONITOR THIS SITUATION, 
AND WILL ISSUE ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS, WATCHES OR WARNINGS IF THEY 
BECOME NECESSARY. STAY TUNED TO NOAA ALL HAZARDS WEATHER RADIO, OR 
YOUR LOCAL MEDIA OUTLET FOR CONTINUED UPDATES.
