...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN...

A VERY HUMID AIR MASS REMAINS IN PLACE OVER EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA, 
NEW JERSEY, DELAWARE AND NORTHEASTERN MARYLAND.  NUMEROUS SHOWERS 
AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THIS EVENING, 
ESPECIALLY IN EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND IN NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NEW 
JERSEY, WHERE LOCALIZED RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF TWO TO THREE INCHES ARE 
POSSIBLE.

WHERE THE HEAVIEST RAIN OCCURS, MUCH OF IT IS EXPECTED TO FALL IN A 
SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.  AS A RESULT, THERE WILL LIKELY BE FLOODING IN 
AREAS OF POOR DRAINAGE AND ALONG SMALL STREAMS AND CREEKS.  IF YOU 
LIVE IN A LOCATION THAT IS PRONE TO FLASH FLOODING BE PREPARED TO 
MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND IF YOU EXPERIENCE A SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM 
THAT IS ACCOMPANIED BY HEAVY RAIN.

USE EXTRA CARE IF YOU WILL BE OUT DRIVING.  THE HEAVY RAIN WILL 
REDUCE YOUR VISIBILITY.  ALSO, BE SURE NOT TO DRIVE THROUGH FLOOD 
WATERS, THE WATER MAY BE DEEPER THAN YOU THINK IT IS.

IN ADDITION TO THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN, THE SCATTERED 
THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE ACCOMPANIED BY FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND 
LIGHTNING, WIND GUSTS UP TO AROUND 40 MPH AND SMALL HAIL.  IF YOU 
OBSERVE THREATENING WEATHER, SEEK SHELTER AT ONCE.

THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BEGIN TO DIMINISH SOMEWHAT LATE 
THIS EVENING, WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS EXPECTED TO LINGER INTO THE 
OVERNIGHT HOURS.

THE HUMID AIR WILL REMAIN IN PLACE OVER THE REGION FOR THURSDAY AND 
FRIDAY WITH MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS 
ALONG WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR LOCALIZED HEAVY RAIN.

A COLD FRONT FROM THE NORTHWEST IS EXPECTED TO ARRIVE ON FRIDAY 
NIGHT.  THE THUNDERSTORMS THAT PRECEDE THE COLD FRONT ON FRIDAY 
AFTERNOON AND EVENING COULD BECOME RATHER STRONG.  ONCE THE COLD 
FRONT PUSHES THROUGH ON FRIDAY NIGHT, LESS HUMID AIR IS FORECAST TO 
BUILD DOWN FROM THE NORTHWEST AND IT PROMISES TO BRING A DRY HOLIDAY 
WEEKEND.
