300 PM EDT MON JUN 26 2006

...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 BE 
FOCUSED FROM WESTERN DELAWARE AND NORTHEASTERN MARYLAND UP THROUGH 
FAR EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND WESTERN NEW JERSEY THROUGH LATE 
AFTERNOON.

AS HAS BEEN THE CASE OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS, SOME OF THESE SHOWERS 
OR THUNDERSTORMS IN THIS BROAD AXIS OF RAIN 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 
THAT HAS FALLEN IN THESE AREAS.

AT 300 PM, ADDITIONAL SHOWERS WERE MOVING OVER THESE AREAS, BUT 
THE AREA HAD EXPANDED NORTHWARD INTO NEW CASTLE COUNTY DELAWARE AND 
CECIL COUNTY MARYLAND, AS WELL AS CHESTER COUNTY PENNSYLVANIA AND 
SALEM COUNTY NEW JERSEY. SOME SHOWERS WILL OCCUR OVER THE 
PHILADELPHIA AREA ON THE EDGE OF THIS ACTIVITY. 

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. BE SAFE AND TURN AROUND, DON'T 
DROWN.

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