...THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN...

THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT PARTS OF EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA 
AND NORTHWESTERN AND CENTRAL NEW JERSEY DURING THE REMAINDER OF THIS 
MORNING AND INTO THIS AFTERNOON.  THE THUNDERSTORMS ARE ACCOMPANIED 
BY HEAVY RAIN AND FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING.  SOME 
LOCATIONS HAVE RECEIVED TWO AND A HALF TO THREE INCHES OF RAIN IN 
ABOUT AN HOUR.

THE HEAVY RAIN WILL CAUSE PONDING OF WATER ON ROADWAYS AND IN AREAS 
OF POOR DRAINAGE.  DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH FLOOD WATERS.  THE WATER MAY 
BE DEEPER THAN YOU THINK IT IS.

IF YOU WILL BE DRIVING THIS MORNING THE DOWNPOURS WILL REDUCE YOUR 
VISIBILITY.  BE SURE TO LEAVE PLENTY OF ROOM BETWEEN YOUR VEHICLE 
AND THE ONE AHEAD OF YOU.

THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING STRIKES WITH THIS 
MORNING'S THUNDERSTORMS.  IF POSSIBLE, REMAIN INDOORS UNTIL THE 
THUNDERSTORMS HAVE PASSED YOUR LOCATION.
