...FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING...

The Flash Flood Watch continues for

* Portions of eastern Pennsylvania including Berks, Lehigh, and
  Northampton, Carbon, and Monroe counties.

* Through Saturday morning.

* Scattered showers and thunderstorms developing this afternoon
  will contain brief heavy downpours. The threat for flash
  flooding increases with subsequent rounds of locally heavy
  rainfall from showers and storms tonight into early Saturday
  morning.

* Heavy rainfall within a short period of time can lead to
  rapidly rising water and flash flooding, particularly in urban
  areas, along small creeks and streams as the ground is already
  very saturated due to recent heavy rains over the past two
  weeks.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flash Flood Watch means that there is the potential for flash
flooding which can be life-threatening. Heavy rain is expected to
occur over a short period of time. Rapidly rising flood waters
may quickly inundate roadways and areas of poor drainage. Streams
and creeks could leave their banks, flooding nearby properties.

Please monitor the forecast, especially if you live in a location
that is prone to flooding. Be prepared to take action if a flash
flood warning is issued for your area.
