...FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 AM EDT THIS
MORNING...

The Flash Flood Watch continues for

* Portions of northern New Jersey and Pennsylvania, including
  the following areas, in northern New Jersey, Morris, Sussex,
  and Warren. In Pennsylvania, Berks, Carbon, Lehigh, Monroe,
  and Northampton.

* Until 8 AM EDT this morning.

* Heavy showers and isolated thunderstorms will continue to affect
  the area early this morning. Flooding and flash flooding has
  already been occurring in portions of the watch area and
  additional rounds of heavy showers on already saturated ground
  will lead to the threat of further flash flooding.

* Heavy rainfall within a short period of time can lead to
  rapidly rising water and flash flooding. The main concern is
  for urban areas and locations along small streams and creeks
  as the ground is already saturated due to the heavy rain over
  the past two weeks.

* Showers will move out of the area by mid morning.

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.
