...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM MIDNIGHT EDT TONIGHT THROUGH
TUESDAY EVENING...

The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has expanded the

* Flood Watch to include the Pennsylvania counties of Carbon,
  Monroe and Northampton

* From midnight tonight through Tuesday evening.

* Rain is forecast to overspread eastern Pennsylvania this
  evening. The rain is expected to become moderate to heavy
  overnight into early Tuesday morning. Rainfall rates should
  diminish during the mid to late morning hours on Tuesday.
  However, there is a chance of scattered showers and
  thunderstorms on Tuesday afternoon that could bring additional
  locally heavy rain. All precipitation should end by Tuesday
  evening.

* Rainfall totals of 1 to 1.5 inches are expected with locally
  higher amounts around 2 inches possible. The moderate to heavy
  rain is forecast to fall on areas that received generally 1 to 2
  inches of rain on Friday. The ground remains wet, and rivers
  and streams continue to run high.

* Another heavy rain event is anticipated from late Wednesday
  night into Thursday. Widespread rainfall amounts of 1 to 2
  inches are expected with locally higher amounts. It should not
  take much rainfall to result in new flooding at that time in
  light of the wet conditions leading up to the event.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flood Watch means that there is the potential for flooding
based on the current forecast.

You should monitor the forecast and be alert for possible Flood
Warnings. If you live in an area that is prone to flooding, be
prepared to take action if flooding develops.
