WEATHER STATEMENT
RAIN, BUT FLOODING UNLIKELY... Rain has overspread the region and expect a continuous rain for the rest of the afternoon. Good news is that the concern for embedded heavy downpours / flooding is going to set-up further South (in South Jersey) and that means any flooding issues are unlikely in our area today and this evening. It's still a good soaking rain, but the intensity is light to moderate. No torrential downpours and any brief "heavy" shots won't be all that heavy. Rain wraps up early this evening
