...AREAS OF HEAVY RAIN WILL AFFECT MUCH OF THE REGION OVERNIGHT...

LOW PRESSURE IN THE WESTERN OHIO VALLEY WAS SENDING A WARM FRONT
EASTWARD TO THE NORTHERN MID ATLANTIC REGION LATE THIS EVENING.
THE ONSHORE FLOW AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE WAS FEEDING COPIOUS
MOISTURE INTO THE NORTHERN MID ATLANTIC AREA...AND AREAS OF HEAVY
RAIN WERE OCCURRING AND WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT. THERE COULD EVEN
BE A RUMBLE OR TWO OF THUNDER, ESPECIALLY TOWARD MORNING.

AT 1020 PM EDT...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RADAR INDICATED AREAS OF
HEAVY RAIN LOCATED OVER NORTHERN DELAWARE AND THE NORTHEAST MARYLAND
SHORE, EXTENDING UP INTO SOUTHWESTERN NEW JERSEY AND SOUTHEASTERN
PENNSYLVANIA INCLUDING PHILADELPHIA. SPOTS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY
RAIN EXTENDED FURTHER NORTHWARD INTO THE LEHIGH VALLEY, THE
SOUTHERN POCONOS, AND NORTHWESTERN NEW JERSEY. THE RAIN WAS MOVING
TO THE NORTH AT 30 TO 35 MILES AN HOUR.

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

THE WARM FRONT WAS LIFTING THROUGH THE DELMARVA BEFORE MIDNIGHT,
AND WILL CONTINUE NORTHWARD OVERNIGHT, SO MORE AREAS OF MODERATE
TO HEAVY RAIN ARE EXPECTED WELL INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS FOR MOST,
IF NOT ALL, OF THE AREA. ADDITIONAL RAIN AMOUNTS OF 1 /2 TO 1 1/2
INCHES, WITH LOCAL AMOUNTS UP TO 3 INCHES, ARE EXPECTED OVERNIGHT.

THE LOW WILL INTENSIFY AND MOVE INTO THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES
LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY SATURDAY, SENDING THE DEVELOPING COLD
FRONT SLOWLY THROUGH OUR AREA DURING SATURDAY, WITH SHOWERS AND
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS RESULTING SATURDAY. ADDITIONAL AREAS OF
MODERATE RAIN, AND SPOTTY LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN, WILL RESULT AS THIS
SLOW-MOVING SYSTEM AFFECTS OUR AREA INTO SATURDAY. DRIER WEATHER
WILL ENTER THE REGION SATURDAY NIGHT WITH BETTER CONDITIONS
EXPECTED FOR SUNDAY.
