...AREAS OF HEAVY RAIN WILL AFFECT PARTS OF OUR AREA FOR THE EVENING
COMMUTE...

LOW PRESSURE IN THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WAS SENDING A WARM FRONT
EASTWARD TO THE MID ATLANTIC REGION THIS AFTERNOON. THE ONSHORE
FLOW AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE WAS FEEDING COPIOUS MOISTURE INTO THE
NORTHERN MID ATLANTIC AREA THIS AFTERNOON...AND AREAS OF HEAVY
RAIN WERE OCCURRING. ITS LIKELY THAT THE HEAVIEST AND MOST
CONCENTRATED AREAS OF RAIN WILL RIDE UP FROM EASTERN VIRGINIA INTO
CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA THIS EVENING...BUT NORTHEASTERN MARYLAND,
DELAWARE, NEW JERSEY, AND EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA WILL BE ON THE
EASTERN FRINGES OF THIS PRECIPITATION.

MOTORISTS SHOULD WATCH FOR AREAS OF HIGHWAY AND ROAD FLOODING
DURING THE EVENING COMMUTE...AND ALLOW EXTRA TIME TO REACH YOUR
DESTINATION. SLOW DOWN AND LEAVE EXTRA STOPPING DISTANCE.

AT 445 PM, THE HEAVIEST AREAS OF RAIN WERE OVER THE INTERSTATE 80
CORRIDOR IN NORTHERN NEW JERSEY, AS WELL AS JUST WEST OF
PHILADELPHIA AND SOUTHWARD TO WILMINGTON DELAWARE AND ON TO THE
SOUTHEAST ALONG THE DELAWARE BEACHES. THIS ACTIVITY WILL MOVE TO
THE NORTH AT 20 TO 25 MILES AN HOUR. SOME HEAVY SHOWERS WERE
JUST MOVING NORTHWARD FROM THE MOUTH DELAWARE BAY INTO CAPE MAY
AND CUMBERLAND COUNTIES IN SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY.

AS THE WARM FRONT LIFTS TO THE NORTH TONIGHT, MORE HEAVY RAIN IS
EXPECTED OVERNIGHT. THE LOW WILL INTENSIFY AND MOVE INTO THE
EASTERN GREAT LAKES, SENDING THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT SLOWLY
THROUGH OUR AREA DURING SATURDAY, WITH SHOWERS AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS RESULTING SATURDAY. RAIN AMOUNTS BETWEEN 1 AND 2
INCHES, WITH LOCAL AMOUNTS UP TO 3 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE AS THIS
SLOW-MOVING SYSTEM AFFECTS OUR AREA TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY.
