...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 7 AM EST THIS MORNING
THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON...

THE FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES FOR

* NORTHERN DELAWARE, NORTHEASTERN MARYLAND, NORTHERN, CENTRAL AND
  SOUTHWESTERN NEW JERSEY AND SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA.

* FROM 7 AM EST TO 6 PM EST TODAY.

* LOW PRESSURE OVER THE MID-ATLANTIC STATES HAS BROUGHT RAIN TO
  THE AREA THIS MORNING. A SECONDARY AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS
  FORECAST TO FORM ALONG THE CENTRAL MIDDLE ATLANTIC COAST, AND
  GRADUALLY INTENSIFY AS IT MOVES OFF THE NEW JERSEY COAST THIS
  AFTERNOON AND TO NEW ENGLAND BY TONIGHT.

* RAIN HAS OVERSPREAD THE REGION AND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE
  DAY. THERE COULD BE SOME SLEET OR SNOW MIXED IN BEFORE DAYBREAK,
  MAINLY NORTH AND WEST OF PHILADELPHIA. THE RAIN COULD BECOME
  HEAVY AT TIMES DURING THE MORNING, THEN TAPER OFF DURING THE
  AFTERNOON. ON AVERAGE, 1 TO 1.5 INCHES OF RAIN IS EXPECTED WITH
  THIS EVENT. THE COMBINATION OF THIS NEW RAINFALL, COUPLED WITH A
  MOIST GROUND COULD CAUSE FLOODING ON SOME CREEKS AND STREAMS,
  ESPECIALLY  THE QUICKER RESPONDING WATERWAYS. THERE CAN ALSO BE
  SOME POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING.

A FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR HEAVY RAIN
ACROSS THE WATCH AREA, WHICH MAY LEAD TO FLOODING ALONG STREAMS
AND CREEKS. IF YOU ARE IN THE WATCH AREA, CHECK YOUR PREPAREDNESS
REQUIREMENTS. KEEP INFORMED AND BE READY FOR ACTION IF FLOODING IS
OBSERVED OR IF A FLOOD WARNING IS ISSUED.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS, OR YOUR LOCAL MEDIA
OUTLET FOR UPDATES AND POSSIBLE WARNINGS.
