More NWS-speak.

MOTORISTS SHOULD USE EXTRA CAUTION THROUGH THIS EVENING...AS
RAINFALL MAY LEAD TO PONDING OF WATER ON ROADWAYS.

I actually heard a female NWS text-to-speech voice a few days ago. It scared me more than the male's, though I don't know why. Maybe it went beyond my space of familiarity. She sounded like an alien too. Which could have been the reason for my freaking out over it.

Ponding. Sounds like something teenage kids do in small towns with water holes when they're bored. I'm sure it would involve beer.
