ELSEWHERE...
 
A FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY FOR 
MOST OF THE THE MARYLAND EASTERN SHORE, NORTHERN DELAWARE, ALL OF NEW
JERSEY EXCEPT FOR THE SOUTHEAST PART OF THE STATE AND ACROSS ALL OF
EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA. 

THE WATCH INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING COUNTIES
 
IN NEW JERSEY...

MONMOUTH...MORRIS...OCEAN...SALEM...SOMERSET...SUSSEX AND

PHILADELPHIA...READING...TRENTON AND WILMINGTON.

THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL STORM CINDY ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH 
OUR AREA ON FRIDAY. HEAVY RAIN ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM IS 
EXPECTED TO OVERSPREAD THE REGION LATE TONIGHT AND AFFECT THE WATCH 
AREA UNTIL AROUND NOON ON FRIDAY. ALONG THE AXIS OF HEAVIEST 
PRECIPITATION, THE LIKELIHOOD EXISTS FOR 2 TO 4 INCHES OF RAIN WITH 
THIS EVENT WITH SOME LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS IN ANY THUNDERSTORMS. 
THE EXPECTED AXIS OF HEAVIEST RAIN HAS BEEN SHIFTING NORTHWESTWARD 
WITH SUCCESSIVE MODEL RUNS WITH THE LATEST EXPECTATIONS ARE FOR THE 
HEAVIEST RAIN TO FALL FROM THE PHILADELPHIA NORTHWESTERN SUBURBS 
NORTHEAST INTO NORTHWESTERN NEW JERSEY.  

IF THIS SCENARIO WAS TO UNFOLD, FLOODING WOULD OCCUR ACROSS 
SMALLER STREAMS IN THE REGION AND POSSIBLY SOME OF THE LARGER RIVERS 
IN THE WATCH AREA. THE LARGER RIVER FLOODING WOULD DEPEND UPON THE 
HEAVIER RAIN FALLING IN A SHORTER PERIOD OF TIME AND ACROSS A LARGE 
PART OF THE BASIN. UNLIKE THE EARLY APRIL FLOODS, THE DELAWARE RIVER 
IS MUCH LOWER AND THE NEW YORK CITY RESERVOIRS ARE NO LONGER AT 
CAPACITY.
 
RESIDENTS WHO LIVE ALONG THE STREAMS, CREEKS AND RIVERS SHOULD 
CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE LATEST WEATHER FORECASTS. PLEASE BE ADVISED 
THAT THE HEAVY RAIN AND THE THICK FOLIAGE WILL COMBINE TO KNOCK OVER 
SOME SHALLOW ROOTED TREES IF ANY STRONG GUSTY WINDS OCCUR. IF YOU 
ARE IN THE WATCH AREA, KEEP INFORMED, AND BE READY TO TAKE ACTION IF 
FLOODING IS OBSERVED OR IF A FLOOD WARNING IS ISSUED. REMEMBER, AT 
THIS POINT, THIS IS ONLY A FLOOD WATCH AND THERE IS STILL 
UNCERTAINTY WITH THE TRACK OF THE SYSTEM. STAY TUNED TO LOCAL MEDIA 
OUTLETS OR NOAA WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS, THE VOICE OF THE NATIONAL 
WEATHER SERVICE, FOR THE LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION.
