* LOW PRESSURE MOVING IN FROM THE WEST WILL STALL OVER THE
  NORTHERN MID ATLANTIC REGION TONIGHT AND MONDAY. ADDITIONAL LOW
  PRESSURE MOVING UP ALONG THE COAST WILL ADD TO THE COMPLEX STORM
  INTERACTIONS MONDAY INTO TUESDAY. HEAVY RAIN WILL BE LIKELY FROM
  LATER TONIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. LIGHTER RAIN SHOULD
  THEN PERSIST INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING AS THE LOW MOVES GRADUALLY
  EAST AWAY FROM OUR AREA. TOTAL PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO
  AVERAGE 3 TO 4 INCHES...BUT LOCAL AMOUNTS UP TO 6 INCHES ARE
  POSSIBLE. AT THIS TIME THE GREATEST PRECIPITATION SHOULD OCCUR
  OVER EASTERN PARTS OF THE WATCH AREA IN NEW JERSEY. THE
  COMBINATION OF THE HEAVY RAINS...ALREADY HIGH STREAMS AND
  RIVERS...AND SATURATED SOIL WOULD LEAD TO RENEWED FLOODING
  ACROSS THE WATCH AREA. THE MOST LIKELY SCENARIO IS FOR MODERATE
  FLOODING ALONG AREA STREAMS AND RIVERS WITH MAJOR FLOODING
  POSSIBLE ALONG SOME WATERWAYS IN CENTRAL AND NORTHERN NEW
  JERSEY. THESE INCLUDE THE ASSUNPINK, MILLSTONE, RARITAN AND
  PASSAIC RIVERS. BASED ON THE CURRENT PRECIPITATION FORECASTS THE
  DELAWARE RIVER WOULD CREST CLOSE TO FLOOD STAGE.
 
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A FLOOD WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING BASED ON
CURRENT FORECASTS. PLEASE USE THIS TIME BEFORE THE HEAVY
RAIN ARRIVES TO MAKE ALL THE NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS YOU CAN. PLEASE
MONITOR LATER FORECASTS AND BE ALERT FOR POSSIBLE FLOOD WARNINGS.
THOSE LIVING IN AREAS PRONE TO FLOODING SHOULD BE PREPARED TO TAKE
ACTION SHOULD FLOODING DEVELOP.
