...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, Coastal Ocean, Eastern Monmouth, Gloucester,
  Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Morris, Northwestern Burlington,
  Ocean, Salem, Somerset, Southeastern Burlington, 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

* Several rounds of heavy showers and thunderstorms will affect
  the area through this evening. The heaviest rainfall is
  expected later this afternoon into this evening as a cold
  front moves across the area. Those areas that received heavy
  rainfall on Friday will be the most susceptible to flash
  flooding.

* 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.
