...FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 2 PM EDT THIS
AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON...

The Flash Flood Watch continues for

* Portions of Delaware, northeast Maryland, southern 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 southern New Jersey, Atlantic, Atlantic
  Coastal Cape May, Camden, Cape May, Coastal Atlantic, Coastal
  Ocean, Cumberland, Gloucester, Northwestern Burlington, Ocean,
  Salem, and Southeastern Burlington. In southeast Pennsylvania,
  Delaware, Eastern Chester, Eastern Montgomery, Philadelphia,
  and Western Chester.

* From 2 PM EDT this afternoon through Saturday afternoon

* Showers and thunderstorms with heavy rain are expected to
  develop across Delmarva this afternoon before expanding
  northeastward into southeastern Pennsylvania and southern New
  Jersey this evening. Additional waves of showers and
  thunderstorms with heavy rain will then continue to impact the
  area tonight through Saturday morning. Rainfall amounts during
  this time will generally range from 2 to 4 inches. However,
  training of thunderstorms may lead to isolated higher amounts in
  excess of 6 inches, especially south of the Mason-Dixon line.

* Torrential rain 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 may
  occur. Locations in far southeastern Pennsylvania, southern
  New Jersey, northeastern Maryland and Delaware that were just
  affected by heavy rain since last weekend will be particularly
  vulnerable to flash flooding.

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.
