* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- WEAK SURFACE LOW PRESSURE OFF THE SOUTHEAST US COAST IS
EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY TRACK NORTHWARD AND POTENTIALLY ACQUIRE
SOME TROPICAL CHARACTERISTICS AS IT MOVES OVER THE GULF
STREAM. WHILE UNCERTAINTY REMAINS IN EXACTLY WHERE THIS
SYSTEM COULD MAKE LANDFALL, CONFIDENCE IN HEAVY RAIN CAPABLE
OF PRODUCING FLASH FLOODING IS HIGH ENOUGH TO WARRANT A FLOOD
WATCH. RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 6 INCHES ARE FORECAST IN THE
WATCH AREA, WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE.
