...FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL MIDNIGHT EDT
TONIGHT...

The Flash Flood Watch continues for

* Portions of northern Delaware, northeast Maryland, New Jersey,
  and Pennsylvania, including the following areas, in northern
  Delaware, New Castle. In northeast Maryland, Cecil. In New
  Jersey, Camden, 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.

* Until midnight EDT tonight.

* Additional showers and storms will develop through this evening.
  This activity will be much less organized than the prior round
  of heavy rain that produced flash flooding in northern Delaware,
  eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey this morning. However,
  showers and storms late this afternoon and evening will be slow
  moving and capable of producing very heavy downpours.

* Given the saturated soils, elevated streams and ongoing flooding,
  it will not take much rainfall to produce additional urban,
  small stream and localized flash flooding.

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.
