LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN EXPECTED FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY ALONG WITH
THUNDERSTORMS...SOME POSSIBLY STRONG...

A STORM SYSTEM, DEVELOPING OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS STATES, IS
EXPECTED TO TRACK NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE OHIO VALLEY BY TONIGHT
AND THEN REACH THE MID ATLANTIC COAST SATURDAY. IT IS THEN
EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY AS IT MOVES NORTHEAST TO THE CANADIAN
MARITIMES BY SUNDAY MORNING. THIS STORM IS EXPECTED TO DRAW
MOISTURE FROM BOTH THE GULF OF MEXICO AND ATLANTIC OCEAN INTO OUR
REGION...RESULTING IN LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL.

WITH MILD AIR IN PLACE, RAIN IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE AREA EARLY
FRIDAY NIGHT. THE RAIN MAY BECOME HEAVY AT TIMES FRIDAY NIGHT INTO
SATURDAY AND THERE MAY EVEN BE A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
AREA. THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS EVEN PLACED SOUTHEAST
PENNSYLVANIA, CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY, DELAWARE, AND
NORTHEAST MARYLAND UNDER A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
FOR LATE TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING. RAINFALL AMOUNTS SHOULD
AVERAGE 3/4 TO 1 INCH WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS, ESPECIALLY IN
AREAS WHERE THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP. THESE RAINFALL AMOUNTS ARE
EXPECTED TO PRODUCE SIGNIFICANT WITHIN BANK RISES ON MANY OF THE
AREAS RIVERS, STREAMS, AND CREEKS...ESPECIALLY IN THE POCONOS AND
NORTHWEST NEW JERSEY WHERE SNOWMELT WILL ADD TO THE RUNOFF.

MUCH COLDER AIR WILL BEGIN TO MOVE INTO THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT.
THIS MAY ALLOW THE RAIN TO CHANGE TO SNOW BEFORE TAPERING OFF LATE
SATURDAY NIGHT. SOME LIGHT ACCUMULATION IS POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY
IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE POCONOS AND NORTHWEST NEW JERSEY.
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO DROP BELOW FREEZING IN MOST LOCATIONS
SATURDAY NIGHT. THIS, ALONG WITH THE PREVIOUS WET ROADWAYS AND THE
POSSIBILITY OF ADDITIONAL PRECIPITATION IN THE FORM OF SNOW, WILL
CAUSE TRAVELING CONDITIONS TO DETERIORATE OVERNIGHT. ADDITIONALLY,
WINDS WILL BECOME NORTHWEST 15 TO 25 MPH WITH HIGHER GUSTS
SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. AS A RESULT WIND CHILL TEMPERATURES
IN THE SINGLE DIGITS ARE EXPECTED FOR THE POCONOS AND NORTHWEST
NEW JERSEY, AND IN THE TEENS TO LOWER 20S ELSEWHERE.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO...OR LOCAL MEDIA OUTLETS...FOR THE 
LATEST UPDATES ON THIS COMPLEX STORM SYSTEM. YOU CAN ALSO ACCESS THE
