...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH LATE
THURSDAY NIGHT...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY HAS ISSUED A

* FLOOD WATCH FOR THE FOLLOWING COUNTIES. IN DELAWARE...NEW
  CASTLE. IN MARYLAND...CECIL. IN NEW JERSEY...SUSSEX...WARREN...
  MORRIS...HUNTERDON...SOMERSET...MIDDLESEX...MERCER...
  MONMOUTH...OCEAN...BURLINGTON...CAMDEN...GLOUCESTER AND SALEM.
  IN PENNSYLVANIA...CARBON...MONROE...NORTHAMPTON...LEHIGH...
  BERKS...CHESTER...MONTGOMERY...BUCKS...PHILADELPHIA AND
  DELAWARE.

* FROM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH LATE THURSDAY NIGHT

* RAINFALL TOTALS OF 1 TO 3 INCHES ARE EXPECTED FROM THURSDAY
  INTO THURSDAY NIGHT WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS. RIVERS AND
  CREEKS ARE RUNNING HIGH DUE TO THE HEAVY RAIN THAT OCCURRED ON
  FRIDAY AND ON MONDAY. AS A RESULT, IT WILL NOT TAKE MUCH RAIN TO
  PRODUCE NEW FLOODING IN OUR REGION.

* THE GREATEST THREAT FOR FLOODING ON THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT
  IS ALONG SMALL STREAMS AND CREEKS AS WELL AS IN AREAS OF POOR
  DRAINAGE. AREA ROADWAYS THAT TEND TO FLOOD EASILY WILL ALSO BE
  IMPACTED. MINOR FLOODING ALONG SOME OF THE MAIN STEM RIVERS,
  SUCH AS THE PASSAIC, THE RARITAN AND THE SCHUYLKILL IS POSSIBLE.
  SIGNIFICANT RISES ARE ANTICIPATED ON THE DELAWARE RIVER, BUT AT
  THIS POINT IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THE DELAWARE SHOULD REMAIN
  WITHIN ITS BANKS.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

THIS FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING
BASED ON CURRENT FORECASTS.

PLEASE CHECK FOR UPDATED FORECASTS TODAY AND TONIGHT AND BE ALERT
FOR POSSIBLE FLOOD WARNINGS ON THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT. IF YOU
LIVE IN AN AREA THAT IS PRONE TO FLOODING, BE PREPARED TO TAKE
ACTION IF FLOODING DEVELOPS.
