...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH LATE
SUNDAY NIGHT...

The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has issued a

* Flash Flood Watch for portions of northern New Jersey and
  northeastern Pennsylvania, including the following areas, in
  northern New Jersey, Morris, Sussex, and Warren. In
  Pennsylvania, Carbon, Lehigh, Monroe, and Northampton.

* From Sunday afternoon through late Sunday night.

* Moderate to heavy rainfall is expected develop from south to
  north Sunday afternoon and continue into Sunday night. Rainfall
  amounts of 2 to 4 inches are forecast along and north of
  Interstate 80. Locally higher amounts of 5 inches or greater
  are possible if thunderstorms develop and move over the same
  locations.

* Heavy rainfall occurring in short period of time would result
  in rapidly rising water levels along streams and creeks. Poor
  drainage, which is common this time of year due to leaf debris,
  could exacerbate flooding. Localized 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.

Check for blocked drainages caused by fallen leaves and remove
debris before the heavy rain arrives.
