...FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE TONIGHT...

THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES FOR

* PORTIONS OF NORTHERN NEW JERSEY, EAST CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA AND
  NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING AREAS, IN
  NORTHERN NEW JERSEY, MORRIS, SUSSEX AND WARREN, IN EAST CENTRAL
  PENNSYLVANIA, BERKS, LEHIGH AND NORTHAMPTON, AND IN NORTHEAST
  PENNSYLVANIA, CARBON AND MONROE.

* THROUGH LATE TONIGHT

* AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE NORTH OF OUR AREA TONIGHT. AS
  A RESULT, A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH OUR AREA LATE
  TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY. THIS FRONT, COMBINED WITH THE HUMID AND
  UNSTABLE AIR MASS IN PLACE, WILL ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF
  ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. LOCALLY DRENCHING RAINFALL
  CAN OCCUR DUE TO THE ABUNDANCE OF MOISTURE IN THE ATMOSPHERE.
  SOME AREAS COULD PICK UP ABOUT 2 INCHES OF RAIN IN A SHORT
  PERIOD OF TIME TONIGHT, CAUSING QUICK RUNOFF.

A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR HEAVY
RAIN ACROSS THE WATCH AREA, WHICH MAY LEAD TO FLOODING OF URBAN
AREAS, ROADWAYS, SMALL STREAMS AND CREEKS AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS.
BE PREPARED TO TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION IF FLOODING OCCURS OR A
WARNING IS ISSUED. FLASH FLOODING IS A VERY DANGEROUS LIFE
THREATENING SITUATION.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS OR YOUR LOCAL MEDIA
OUTLET FOR THE LATEST INFORMATION.
