HEAVY RAIN ARE EXPECTED 
FOR TODAY...

A VERY HUMID AIR MASS HAS SETTLED OVER OUR REGION.  SCATTERED 
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED FOR TODAY AND THEY WILL 
LIKELY BE ACCOMPANIED BY HEAVY RAIN.  THE HEAVY RAIN WILL CAUSE 
FLOODING IN AREAS OF POOR DRAINAGE AND ALONG SMALL STREAMS AND 
CREEKS.

IF YOU WILL BE OUT DRIVING, THE HEAVY RAIN WILL REDUCE YOUR 
VISIBILITY.  BE SURE TO LEAVE PLENTY OF ROOM BETWEEN YOUR VEHICLE 
AND THE ONE AHEAD OF YOU.  ALSO, THE HEAVY RAIN WILL CAUSE PONDING 
OF WATER ON ROADWAYS.  DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH FLOOD WATERS, THE WATER 
MAY BE DEEPER THAN YOU THINK IT IS.

THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR MAINLY DURING THE AFTERNOON 
AND EVENING HOURS IN EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND IN NEW JERSEY.  FOR 
DELAWARE AND NORTHEASTERN MARYLAND, THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS 
ARE POSSIBLE ANY TIME DURING THE DAY.

ALONG WITH THE HEAVY RAIN, THE THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE ACCOMPANIED BY 
GUSTY WINDS AND H
