  WILL MOVE NORTH ALONG THE COAST AND INTO OUR REGION TONIGHT...
  BRINGING MORE MOISTURE 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 TONIGHT AND
  TUESDAY MORNING. LIGHTER RAIN IS THEN EXPECTED AT TIMES TUESDAY
  AFTERNOON...TUESDAY NIGHT. PRECIPITATION WILL END BY WEDNESDAY
  MORNING AS THE LOW MOVES AWAY FROM OUR AREA. AN ADDITIONAL 1 TO
  3 INCHES OF RAIN ARE EXPECTED. 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 WILL LEAD TO
  RENEWED FLOODING ACROSS THE WATCH AREA. THE MOST LIKELY RESULT
  IS FOR MODERATE FLOODING ALONG AREA STREAMS AND RIVERS...WITH
  SOME MAJOR FLOODING POSSIBLE ALONG WATERWAYS IN CENTRAL AND
  NORTHERN NEW JERSEY. THESE INCLUDE THE PASSAIC, RARITAN,
  ASSUNPINK AND RANCOCAS BASINS. BASED ON THE CURRENT
  PRECIPITATION FORECASTS THE DELAWARE RIVER WOULD CREST AT
  CAUTION STAGE.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A FLOOD WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING BASED ON
CURRENT FORECASTS. IF NOT DONE SO ALREADY PLEASE USE THIS TIME
BEFORE THE NEXT ROUND OF 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.
