...HEAVY RAIN WILL COINCIDE WITH THE EVENING COMMUTE...

A BAND OF HEAVY RAIN THAT IS PRODUCING AMOUNTS OF BETWEEN ONE THIRD
AND TWO THIRDS OF AN INCH INCH PER HOUR WILL SLOWLY LIFT ACROSS THE
REGION DURING THE EVENING COMMUTE. THERE WILL BE LOW LYING AND POOR
DRAINAGE AREA FLOODING AS THIS BAND OF HEAVY RAIN PIVOTS SLOWLY TO
THE NORTHWEST. AS OF 445 PM THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE HEAVY RAIN BAND
WAS LOCATED ALONG THE INTERSTATE 78 CORRIDOR WITH THE NORTHERN EXTENT
APPROACHING THE POCONOS AND SUSSEX COUNTY NEW JERSEY. AS THE EVENING
COMMUTE PROGRESSES, THIS BAND SHOULD LIFT NORTHWEST AND MAKE FOR A
MORE DIFFICULT THAN USUAL COMMUTE HOME ESPECIALLY ALONG THE
INTERSTATE 80 CORRIDOR.  

IF POSSIBLE TAKE ROADS THAT ARE NOT PRONE TO POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING
AND GIVE YOURSELF SOME EXTRA TIME TO REACH YOUR DESTINATION. STORM
TOTALS IN THIS AREA COULD REACH BETWEEN ONE AND TWO INCHES.
