* ANOTHER ROUND OF HEAVY RAIN WILL AFFECT THE WATCH AREA OVERNIGHT
  INTO TUESDAY MORNING. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER NORTH CAROLINA
  WILL MOVE NORTH ALONG THE COASTAL WATERS AND BE EAST OF NEW
  JERSEY ON TUESDAY. THIS LOW WILL THEN DRIFT SLOWLY EAST TUESDAY
  NIGHT AND EARLY WEDNESDAY. HEAVY RAIN WILL OCCUR AT TIMES LATER
  TONIGHT AND TUESDAY MORNING. LIGHTER RAIN IS THEN EXPECTED AT
  TIMES TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. PRECIPITATION WILL END BY
  WEDNESDAY MORNING AS THE LOW MOVES FARTHER 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 AND
  ASSUNPINK BASINS. BASED ON THE CURRENT PRECIPITATION FORECASTS
  THE DELAWARE RIVER SHOULD CREST AT CAUTION STAGE.
 
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A FLOOD WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING BASED ON
CURRENT FORECASTS. PLEASE MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS AND BE
ALERT FOR POSSIBLE FLOOD WARNINGS. SOME STREAMS AND RIVERS ARE
ALREADY FLOODING. THOSE LIVING IN AREAS PRONE TO FLOODING SHOULD
BE PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION SHOULD FLOODING DEVELOP.
