...YET MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN TODAY...

ONCE AGAIN, SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED FOR TODAY, AND 
SOME WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY HEAVY RAIN. THERE ALSO MAY BE SOME GUSTY 
WINDS AND SOME SMALL HAIL. ALTHOUGH IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS A 
SLIGHTLY BETTER CHANCE OF CONVECTION AS ONE MOVES NORTHWEST THROUGH 
THE REGION, ALL AREAS ARE UNDER RISK. 

YESTERDAY, HEAVY RAIN CAUSED LOCALIZED SIGNIFICANT SMALL STREAM 
FLOODING THAT RESULTED IN SOME EVACUATIONS IN MIDDLESEX COUNTY, NEW 
JERSEY. ANY HEAVY RAIN TODAY WILL AGAIN CAUSE FLOODING IN AREAS OF 
POOR DRAINAGE AND POTENTIALLY ALONG SMALL STREAMS AND CREEKS. 
REMEMBER THAT IF HEAVY RAIN FALLS IN AREAS THAT RECEIVED HEAVY RAIN 
YESTERDAY, THE CHANCES OF LOCALIZED FLOODING WOULD BE INCREASED. 

IF YOU SEE THAT FLOODING DOES BEGIN TO OCCUR, OR IF LAW ENFORCEMENT 
OR OTHER OFFICIALS ASK YOU TO EVACUATE DUE TO STREAM FLOODING, 
PLEASE MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND IMMEDIATELY. IF YOU WILL BE OUT DRIVING 
AND YOU ENCOUNTER HEAVY RAIN, THAT RAIN WILL REDUCE YOUR VISIBILITY, 
SO 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, AS THE WATER MAY BE 
DEEPER THAN YOU THINK IT IS.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL REMAIN IN THE 
FORECAST THROUGH THIS EVENING.
