  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.

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.
