...FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM EDT THIS
EVENING...

THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES FOR

* A PORTION OF NORTHERN NEW JERSEY...INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING
  AREAS...MIDDLESEX...MORRIS...SOMERSET AND SUSSEX.

* UNTIL 8 PM EDT THIS EVENING

* UP TO AN INCH OF RAIN FELL OVER THE WATCH AREA LATE LAST NIGHT
  AND EARLY THIS MORNING. RAIN HAD BECOME LIGHTER LATE THIS
  MORNING...AND COVERAGE HAD BECOME MORE SCATTERED IN NATURE.
  HOWEVER...CONTINUED SHOWER ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TODAY. THAT
  ACTIVITY MAY BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD IN NATURE AND THUNDERSTORMS
  ALSO MAY DEVELOP. THE ATMOSPHERE IS VERY MOIST AND THAT MAY LEAD
  TO ADDITIONAL HEAVY DOWNPOURS...AND SO THE THREAT OF FLASH
  FLOODING HAS NOT YET ENDED. SMALLER STREAMS AND CREEKS AND POOR
  DRAINAGE AREAS WOULD BE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO FLASH FLOODING.
  LARGER RIVER BASINS LIKELY ARE NOT THREATENED.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT CONDITIONS MAY DEVELOP THAT LEAD
TO FLASH FLOODING. FLASH FLOODING IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

YOU SHOULD MONITOR LATER FORECASTS AND BE PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION
SHOULD FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS BE ISSUED.
