...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE TONIGHT...

The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has issued a

* Flash Flood Watch for portions of northern Delaware, New
  Jersey, and Pennsylvania, including the following areas, in
  northern Delaware, New Castle. In New Jersey, Camden, Eastern
  Monmouth, Gloucester, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Morris,
  Northwestern Burlington, Salem, Somerset, Sussex, Warren, and
  Western Monmouth. In Pennsylvania, Berks, Carbon, Delaware,
  Eastern Chester, Eastern Montgomery, Lehigh, Lower Bucks,
  Monroe, Northampton, Philadelphia, Upper Bucks, Western
  Chester, and Western Montgomery.

* Through late tonight

* Showers and thunderstorms producing heavy downpours will develop
  this morning and continue through tonight. The trend appears for
  there to be one round early this morning, followed by a
  potential lull in the heavy rain from late morning through early
  afternoon. Another round of slow moving showers and
  thunderstorms will develop this afternoon through this evening.
  Although rainfall amounts area wide will generally average less
  than one inch, there is the potential for locally heavy rainfall
  of 2 to 3 inches, possibly more, where thunderstorms train over
  the same location. The main area of risk for the potential
  flooding will be along and north of the I-95 urban corridor.

* Heavy rainfall within a short period of time can lead to
  rapidly rising water and flash flooding, particularly in urban
  areas, and along small creeks and streams. The ground remains
  fairly saturated due to recent heavy rains over the past several
  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.
