* THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON

*  LOW PRESSURE NEARING OUR AREA FROM THE WEST EARLY THIS MORNING
   WILL STALL OVER OUR NORTHERN MID ATLANTIC REGION TODAY. 1 TO 2
   INCHES OF RAIN...AND LOCALLY 2.5 INCHES...HAS ALREADY FALLEN
   OVERNIGHT. ANOTHER AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE UP ALONG THE
   COAST THIS AFTERNOON AND MOVE INTO OUR REGION
   TONIGHT...BRINGING MORE ENERGY AND MOISTURE TO OUR AREA TONIGHT
   AND INTO TUESDAY. THIS LOW WILL REMAIN IN OUR AREA THROUGH
   TUESDAY AND BEGIN TO MOVE AWAY TUESDAY NIGHT AND EARLY
   WEDNESDAY. HEAVY RAIN WILL OCCUR AT TIMES TODAY...TONIGHT...AND
   INTO TUESDAY MORNING. LIGHTER RAIN IS THEN EXPECTED AT TIMES
   TUESDAY AFTERNOON...TUESDAY NIGHT...AND INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING
   AS THE LOW MOVES GRADUALLY EASTWARD AND AWAY FROM OUR AREA.
   TOTAL PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO AVERAGE 2 TO 4 INCHES...WITH
   LOCAL AMOUNTS UP TO 5 INCHES. 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 IS LIKELY TO LEAD
   TO RENEWED FLOODING ACROSS THE WATCH AREA. THE MOST LIKELY
   RESULT IS FOR MODERATE FLOODING ALONG AREA STREAMS AND
   RIVERS...WITH A CHANCE OF 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.
