...FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS EVENING...

THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES FOR

* THE FOLLOWING COUNTIES. IN DELAWARE...NEW CASTLE. IN NEW
  JERSEY...CAMDEN...GLOUCESTER...MERCER...NORTHWESTERN BURLINGTON
  AND SALEM. IN SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA...BUCKS...CHESTER...
  DELAWARE...MONTGOMERY AND PHILADELPHIA.

* THROUGH THIS EVENING

* HEAVY RAIN HAS ALREADY FALLEN IN MUCH OF THE REGION. ANOTHER
  ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN IS EXPECTED
  FOR TODAY. RAINFALL TOTALS OF AN INCH OR TWO ARE ANTICIPATED TO
  BE COMMON TODAY WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS. SOME PLACES COULD
  PICK UP AN ADDITIONAL TWO TO FOUR INCHES OF RAIN.

* URBAN AREAS REMAIN HIGHLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO FLASH FLOODING. STORM
  DRAINS ARE USUALLY NOT ABLE TO DEAL WITH A LARGE VOLUME OF RAIN
  WATER IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME...RESULTING IN FLOODING OF
  ROADWAYS AND AREAS OF POOR DRAINAGE.

* THE THREAT FOR HEAVY RAIN WILL COME TO AN END TONIGHT AS A WEAK
  FRONTAL BOUNDARY PUSHES THE EXCESSIVELY HUMID AIR MASS OFF THE
  COAST.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT CONDITIONS MAY DEVELOP THAT LEAD
TO FLASH FLOODING. FLASH FLOODING IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

YOU SHOULD MONITOR THE FORECAST AND BE PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION
IF FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS ARE ISSUED.
