...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM MONDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH

The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has issued a

* Flash Flood Watch for portions of Delaware, northeast
  Maryland, New Jersey, and southeast Pennsylvania, including
  the following areas, in Delaware, Delaware Beaches, Inland
  Sussex, Kent, and New Castle. In northeast Maryland, Caroline,
  Cecil, Kent MD, Queen Annes, and Talbot. In New Jersey,

  start mid day tomorrow and continue through the evening hours.
  This rain will be falling in areas where the soils are already
  nearly saturated due to storms last week.

* Torrential rains falling in a short period of time will result
  in rapidly rising water levels along streams and creeks and in
  areas of poor drainage. Significant roadway flooding is
  possible.


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 later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.

Basement flooding is possible due to heavy rain falling on soils
already saturated from previous storms. If your home has a history
of basement flooding, monitor your sump pump for proper operation
and if possible, direct outside water flow away from your house
