LOW PRESSURE FORECAST TO ORGANIZE OVER THE GULF COAST REGION TONIGHT

TO BRING HEAVY RAINFALL AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS TO THE NEW JERSEY

AND ADJACENT PORTIONS OF THE MARYLAND EASTERN SHORE. THE PERIOD OF 
HEAVY RAINFALL IS FORECAST DURING FRIDAY NIGHT AND AT LEAST FOR THE

COULD OCCUR IF HEAVY RAIN FALLS NEAR TIMES OF HIGH TIDES. 

PEOPLE IN THE REGION SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO ADDITIONAL WEATHER

AND ISSUE ANY STATEMENTS, WATCHES OR WARNINGS IF THEY BECOME 
NECESSARY.
