Nature's Alarm Clock Late Tonight?

With tonight's half inch to one inch rain event moving on through later tonight Brian alluded to the potential of some isolated thunderstorms embedding within the rain. Yeah, Mother Nature may wake you up later tonight with some thunder as low pressure pops along I-95 and enhances the precipitation towards daybreak.

Looking at high resolution radar above, the potential for thunderstorms could occur anywhere in the area.  Given the track of the low, the best chances for thunder may occur along either side of the low pressure center.  If the low does indeed pop along I-95 and take a trip up the interstate (not literally of course) the thunder chances would be across the metro.   An eastward jog in low track may send those storms along the coast or across South Jersey.   Rainfall should be steadiest/heaviest between 2 and 8 AM, quickly tapering off as the low lifts northeast and generally over with by midday if not slightly before.  

Nothing severe, nothing earth-shattering...but you might wake up a bit earlier than you would like if Ma Nature has her way.
