...HEAVY RAIN CONTINUES ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE AREA TODAY...

THE STEADY RAIN ACROSS THE REGION WILL TAPER OFF AND END TONIGHT.
RAINFALL AMOUNTS AS OF LATE THIS MORNING RANGE FROM 1/2 INCH ALONG
COASTAL SECTIONS OF DELAWARE AND NEW JERSEY TO BETWEEN 1 AND 2
INCHES ELSEWHERE. ANOTHER 1/2 TO 1 1/2 INCHES OF RAIN IS EXPECTED
BEFORE IT TAPERS OFF TONIGHT, WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS MAINLY IN
THE LEHIGH VALLEY AND POCONO MOUNTAINS IN PENNSYLVANIA AND IN
NORTHWEST NEW JERSEY.

THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RAIN WAS LOCATED ALONG
THE SOUTHERN DELMARVA COAST LATE THIS MORNING. IT WILL TRACK

FLOODING IS POSSIBLE IN POOR DRAINAGE AREAS, AS WELL AS IN
CULVERTS AND CATCH BASINS AS THEY BECOME CLOGGED FROM FALLEN
LEAVES. THESE FALLEN LEAVES WILL ALSO MAKE ROADWAYS SLIPPERY FOR
MOTORISTS. YOU MIGHT WANT TO GIVE YOURSELF SOME EXTRA TIME THIS
