...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM THIS EVENING TO TUESDAY AFTERNOON...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY HAS EXPANDED THE

* FLOOD WATCH TO INCLUDE NORTHERN NEW JERSEY...NORTHEAST 
  MARYLAND...NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA AND EAST CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA

* FROM THIS EVENING TO TUESDAY AFTERNOON

* A STORM SYSTEM APPROACHING OUR REGION FROM THE SOUTH AND WEST
  OVER THE NEXT DAY OR TWO... WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY THE REMNANTS
  OF WILMA WHICH IS CURRENTLY FORECAST TO TRACK WELL EAST OF THE
  MIDDLE ATLANTIC COAST DURING TUESDAY. THE REMNANTS OF WILMA WILL
  BE ACCELERATING TO THE NORTH AND NORTHEAST DURING TUESDAY AS
  SOME INTERACTION WITH THE STORM SYSTEM ARRIVING FROM THE WEST
  TAKES PLACE. HOWEVER... IT IS IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT THAT THERE
  STILL REMAINS SOME UNCERTAINTY ON HOW THE TWO WEATHER SYSTEMS
  INTERACT TONIGHT AND TUESDAY.

THE CURRENT PROJECTIONS ARE FOR PERIODS OF RAIN TO DEVELOP THIS
AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY. THERE IS THE
POTENTIAL FOR SOME OF THE RAIN TO BE HEAVY AT TIMES... MAINLY
TONIGHT AND TUESDAY MORNING. A TOTAL OF 1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAIN IS
CURRENTLY ANTICIPATED FOR THIS UPCOMING EVENT.

* THIS OCTOBER HAS BEEN A WET MONTH, WITH IT BEING THE WETTEST 
OCTOBER ON RECORD FOR SEVERAL AREAS. SOME OF THE AREA WATERWAYS 
CONTINUE TO RUN HIGH GIVEN THE RAINFALL THIS MONTH, AND SOME HEAVY 
RAIN AS RECENT AS JUST YESTERDAY. WITH THE ADDITIONAL RAINFALL 
EXPECTED MONDAY INTO TUESDAY, THERE IS A CONCERN FOR SOME OF THE 
QUICKER RESPONDING WATERWAYS, ESPECIALLY ACROSS CENTRAL AND NORTHERN 
NEW JERSEY. THEREFORE, A FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED.

AS WITH ANY POTENTIAL OF HEAVY RAIN, AREAS OF POOR DRAINAGE AND
STREET FLOODING IS ALWAYS A POSSIBILITY, ESPECIALLY DURING TIMES
OF GREATER RAINFALL RATES. NOW THAT LEAVES ARE FALLING FROM THE
TREES, BE AWARE THAT WET LEAVES THAT REMAIN ON THE ROAD WILL
CREATE SLIPPERY CONDITIONS. FALLEN LEAVES THAT HAVE COLLECTED
ALONG THE SIDE OF THE ROADS, MAY BLOCK SOME OF THE STORM DRAINS,
RESULTING IN SOME INCREASED PONDING OF WATER ON SOME ROADS.

A FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT FLOODING IS POSSIBLE IN THE WATCH AREA. 
CHECK YOUR PREPAREDNESS REQUIREMENTS, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE 
INTERESTS ALONG RIVERS OR STREAMS IN THE AREA. KEEP INFORMED, AND BE 
READY FOR ACTION IF FLOODING IS OBSERVED OR IF A FLOOD WARNING IS 
ISSUED.
