* FROM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING

* LOW PRESSURE MOVING THROUGH THE TENNESSEE RIVER VALLEY TUESDAY
  AFTERNOON WILL WEAKEN AND RECONSTITUTE OFF THE CAROLINA COAST
  TUESDAY NIGHT, THEN INTENSIFY AS IT MOVES NORTHEAST ALONG THE
  EASTERN SEABOARD ON WEDNESDAY. PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED WITH THE
  LOW, WHICH INITIALLY WAS EITHER SNOW OR A WINTRY MIX OF
  PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE REGION, IS EXPECTED TO CHANGE TO RAIN
  BY OR SHORTLY AFTER DAYBREAK WEDNESDAY ACROSS AREAS NEAR AND
  SOUTHEAST OF THE INTERSTATE 95 CORRIDOR.

* THE RAIN MAY BECOME HEAVY ON WEDNESDAY AS THE INTENSIFYING LOW
  BRINGS GULF MOISTURE NORTH. ONE AND ONE-HALF TO TWO INCHES OF
  RAIN MAY FALL. THAT RAIN MAY COMBINE WITH ANY MELTING SNOW OR
  ICE ON THE GROUND TO CAUSE CONSIDERABLE RUNOFF, AND THAT RUNOFF
  LIKELY WILL NOT BE ABSORBED TO ANY GREAT DEGREE BY THE LARGELY
  FROZEN GROUND. FLOODING OF STREAMS, CREEKS, AND POOR DRAINAGE
  AREAS MAY RESULT. MOREOVER, IF MINOR TIDAL FLOODING OCCURS ALONG
  THE TIDAL DELAWARE RIVER, THE RUNOFF WOULD EXACERBATE IT.

A FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR HEAVY RAIN
ACROSS THE WATCH AREA, WHICH MAY LEAD TO FLOODING ALONG STREAMS
AND CREEKS. IF YOU ARE IN THE WATCH AREA, CHECK YOUR PREPAREDNESS
REQUIREMENTS. KEEP INFORMED, AND BE READY FOR ACTION IF FLOODING
IS OBSERVED OR IF A FLOOD WARNING IS ISSUED.
