* THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON

*  LOW PRESSURE MOVING JUST EAST OF THE DELAWARE AND NEW JERSEY
  COASTS THIS MORNING WILL REACH TO WESTERN OR CENTRAL LONG ISLAND
  BY THIS EVENING. MOISTURE WRAPPING AROUND BEHIND THIS LOW WILL
  GENERATE ADDITIONAL RAIN FOR THE WATCH AREA TODAY. THE THOUGHT
  CONTINUES THAT RAIN WILL BE MODERATE TO HEAVY AT TIMES TODAY...
  ESPECIALLY OVER EASTERN PARTS OF THE WATCH AREA IN NEW JERSEY. AN
  ADDITIONAL THREE-QUARTERS TO AN INCH AND A HALF OF RAIN...LOCALLY
  TWO INCHES...IS FORECAST TO OCCUR TODAY. THE COMBINATION OF THE
  HEAVY RAINS...ALREADY HIGH STREAMS AND RIVERS...AND SATURATED SOIL
  MAY LEAD TO RENEWED FLOODING ACROSS THE WATCH AREA. THE MOST
  LIKELY RESULT IS FOR MINOR TO MODERATE FLOODING ALONG AREA STREAMS
  AND RIVERS...WITH ISOLATED MAJOR FLOODING POSSIBLE ALONG WATERWAYS
  IN CENTRAL AND NORTHERN NEW JERSEY...INCLUDING THE PASSAIC AND THE
  MILLSTONE. 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.
