...SHOWERS WILL BE PERSISTENT THIS AFTERNOON FROM THE DELMARVA 
NORTHWARD THROUGH THE DELAWARE VALLEY...

A BROAD BAND OF NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WILL 
PERSIST FROM WESTERN DELAWARE AND NORTHEASTERN MARYLAND UP THROUGH 
FAR EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND WESTERN NEW JERSEY THROUGH MID 
AFTERNOON.

AS HAS BEEN THE CASE OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS, SOME OF THESE SHOWERS 
OR THUNDERSTORMS WILL PRODUCE EXCESSIVE RAINFALL IN A VERY SHORT 
PERIOD OF TIME. SINCE NOON, THE HEAVIEST RAIN HAS FALLEN OVER 
WESTERN KENT COUNTY DELAWARE AS WELL AS EASTERN CAROLINE AND EASTERN
QUEEN ANNE'S COUNTIES IN NORTHEASTERN MARYLAND, WITH RADAR SHOWING 
AS MUCH AS 2 TO 3 INCHES OF ADDITIONAL RAIN HAVING FALLEN IN THESE 
AREAS. A FLASH FLOOD WARNING CONTINUES IN EFFECT FOR THESE AREAS 
UNTIL 245 PM EDT.

AT 200 PM, ADDITIONAL SHOWERS WERE GENERATING OVER THESE AREAS, BUT 
THE AREA HAS EXPANDED NORTHWARD INTO NEW CASTLE COUNTY DELAWARE AND 
CECIL COUNTY MARYLAND, AND WAS FORMING INTO CHESTER COUNTY 
PENNSYLVANIA AND SALEM COUNTY NEW JERSEY, AND WAS HEADING TOWARD THE 
PHILADELPHIA AREA. 

PERSONS LIVING ALONG STREAMS AND CREEKS SHOULD CONTINUE TO PAY VERY 
CLOSE ATTENTION TO RAPIDLY CHANGING WEATHER CONDITIONS AND LISTEN 
FOR THE POSSIBLE ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL WARNINGS, WATCHES, AND/OR 
ADVISORIES. MOTORISTS SHOULD WATCH FOR FLOODED ROADS, AND ARE 
REMINDED TO REFRAIN FROM DRIVING INTO FLOOD WATERS. FLOWING WATER 
CAN CARRY VEHICLES AWAY OR TURN THEM OVER, OR EVEN WASH ROADS AWAY. 
NEVER DRIVE THROUGH FLOOD WATERS. STAY SAFE AND TURN AROUND, DON'T 
DROWN.

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. 

NOAA WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS IS YOUR IMMEDIATE SOURCE FOR WEATHER 
INFORMATION FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE.
