...HEAVY RAINS COULD CAUSE URBAN ROAD AND SMALL STREAM FLOODING 
AROUND MIDDAY AND THIS AFTERNOON....

LOW PRESSURE MOVING EAST THROUGH THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS WILL 
TRANSFER ITS ENERGY TO JUST OFF THE DELMARVA PENINSULA LATER THIS

RESULTED OVER THE NORTHERN MID ATLANTIC REGION THIS MORNING, AND 
THESE RAINS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THIS AFTERNOON.

AT LATE MORNING, RADAR WAS ESTIMATING THAT ONE TO ONE AND A HALF 
INCHES OF RAIN HAD FALLEN OVER NORTHERN DELAWARE AND SOUTHEASTERN 
PENNSYLVANIA, WITH ALMOST THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH OVER PARTS OF 
NORTHERN DELAWARE IN ONE HOUR ALONE.

WITH MORE RAIN EXPECTED, LOCALIZED FLOODING OF ROADS, URBAN AREAS, 
AND SMALL STREAMS IS LIKELY TO OCCUR THIS AFTERNOON, AND POSSIBLY 
INTO THIS EVENING. MOTORISTS ARE URGED TO WATCH FOR FLOODED AREAS ON 
ROADS. SLOW DOWN WHEN ENCOUNTERING LARGE PUDDLES. IF YOU LIVE NEAR 
FLOOD PRONE AREAS, WATCH FOR RISING WATER. MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND 
IF YOU SEE WATER RISING TO YOUR LOCATION.
