...HEAVY DOWNPOURS WITH GUSTY WINDS MOVING ACROSS THE REGION...

RAIN, HEAVY AT TIMES AND WITH LOCALIZED WIND GUSTS TO 45 MPH, WILL
CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALVES OF NEW JERSEY AND
PENNSYLVANIA. THE HEAVIER RAIN BROUGHT WIND GUSTS TO AROUND 45 MPH IN
ATLANTIC AND BURLINGTON COUNTIES. THE HEAVIEST DOWNPOURS WILL
CONTINUE TO BRING STRONG WINDS ALOFT TO THE SURFACE AND GENERATE
RAINFALL AMOUNTS APPROACHING AN INCH PER HOUR. THE WINDS MAY ACT IN
CONCERT WITH SATURATED GROUND TO BRING DOWN SOME TREES, WHICH IN TURN
COULD CAUSE LOCALIZED POWER OUTAGES.

KEEP IN MIND ALSO THAT MULTIPLE FLOOD WARNINGS ARE IN EFFECT FOR
EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND FOR WEST CENTRAL AND NORTHWEST NEW JERSEY.
IF TOLD TO EVACUATE, FOLLOW THE DIRECTION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
PERSONNEL IN YOUR AREA. OTHERWISE, THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION THIS
EVENING IS TO REMAIN INDOORS. 

THE HEAVIEST RAIN IS EXPECTED TO BE NORTH OF THE REGION BY MIDNIGHT,
BUT RUNOFF PROBLEMS WILL LINGER INTO SUNDAY AND IN SOME AREAS INTO
MONDAY.
