...TWO QUICK MOVING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS WILL BRING RAIN TO THE
   MIDDLE ATLANTIC REGION LATER TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING AND      
   AGAIN SATURDAY...

LOW PRESSURE MOVING NORTHEAST FROM THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WILL
REACH WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA FRIDAY MORNING AND EASTERN CANADA
FRIDAY NIGHT. RAIN ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL SPREAD INTO
THE MID ATLANTIC REGION AROUND OR SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT
AND THEN END FROM SOUTH TO NORTH FRIDAY MORNING. RAINFALL AMOUNTS
MAY BE HEAVY AT TIMES AND ARE EXPECTED TO AVERAGE 1/2 TO 1 INCH. 
THIS WILL CAUSE WITHIN BANK RISES ON SMALL STREAMS AND CREEKS AND 
COULD PRODUCE PONDING ON ROADWAYS. AREAS OF PATCHY FOG ARE ALSO 
POSSIBLE. THE GREATEST IMPACT WILL OCCUR DURING THE FRIDAY MORNING 
RUSH HOUR AND MOTORISTS SHOULD ALLOW EXTRA TIME FOR THEIR COMMUTE.

ONCE THE RAIN ENDS, THE SUN WILL MAKE AN APPEARANCE. THIS WILL
HELP PUSH AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES WELL INTO THE 50S, AND POSSIBLY
EVEN INTO THE LOW 60S IN SOME LOCATIONS.

THE SECOND LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM EXPECTED TO EFFECT OUR AREA WILL
MOVE NORTHEAST FROM THE GULF COAST STATES FRIDAY NIGHT. THE LOW
WILL CROSS PENNSYLVANIA SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING, AND
THEN MOVE INTO EASTERN CANADA SUNDAY. RAIN WITH THIS SYSTEM IS
EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO OUR AREA SATURDAY MORNING. RAINFALL AMOUNTS
WITH THIS LOW SHOULD BE LESS THAN WITH TONIGHTS LOW, RANGING FROM
1/4 TO 1/2 INCH FROM PHILADELPHIA NORTH AND WEST AND 1/10 TO 1/4
INCH TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF PHILADELPHIA. THE RAIN WILL END
FROM SOUTH TO NORTH LATE IN THE DAY INTO THE EVENING HOURS.
COLDER AIR WILL THEN BEGIN TO PUSH INTO THE REGION, BRINGING A
RETURN TO MORE SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES FOR THE EARLY PART OF
NEXT WEEK. A FEW SNOW SHOWERS MAY OCCUR IN THE POCONOS AND OVER
PORTIONS OF NORTHWEST NEW JERSEY LATE SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY.
