...MORE VERY HEAVY SHOWERS ON THE WAY...

SOME PARTS OF THE REGION HAVE RECEIVED UNPRECEDENTED RAINFALL OVER
THE PAST TWO DAYS, AND MORE IS ON THE WAY. THE LINE BETWEEN WHERE
THE HEAVY SHOWERS WILL FORM AND WHERE THEY WON'T IS A FINE ONE.
HOWEVER, THE RESULT WILL BE SOME PARTS OF THE REGION RECEIVING
AN ADDITIONAL 2 TO 4 INCH SOAKING WHILE OTHER AREAS LESS THAN ONE
HALF INCH.

AS A RESULT OF THE ANTICIPATED HEAVY SHOWERS, A FLASH FLOOD WATCH
REMAINS IN EFFECT, AND MAY ALSO BE EXTENDED TO INCLUDE A LARGER
PART OF THE REGION, INCLUDING SECTIONS INTO NEW JERSEY, EASTERN
MARYLAND AND DELAWARE.

HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC HAS MOVED VERY SLOWLY,
WHILE A DEEP SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST FLOW HAS TAPPED THE TROPICAL
REGIONS OF THE ATLANTIC FOR SIGNIFICANT MOISTURE. 

THE PRESENT BAND OF HEAVY SHOWERS BEGINS IN THE NORTHERN BAHAMAS,
COMES ASHORE OVER COASTAL NORTH CAROLINA, THEN TRAVELS ALONG THE
PERIPHERY OF THE HIGH PRESSURE INTO THE EASTERN SHORE OF MARYLAND
AND FINALLY INTO NORTHWEST NEW JERSEY. THIS WILL BE THE AREA THAT
WILL BE WATCHED VERY CLOSELY FOR ADDITIONAL FLOOD WATCHES AND IF
NECESSARY FLOOD WARNINGS. 

PERSONS LIVING ALONG STREAMS AND CREEKS SHOULD CONTINUE TO PAY
CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE FORECAST FOR THE ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL
ADVISORIES. ALSO, PERSONS LIVING ALONG THE SHORE COUNTIES SHOULD
ALSO BE AWARE THAT AT THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE, AND THE OCCURRENCE OF
VERY HEAVY RAIN, SOME FLOODING COULD RESULT. 

REMEMBER, DO NOT, REPEAT DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DRIVE THROUGH FLOOD
WATERS. IT IS MUCH SAFER AND WISER TO TURN AROUND.
