...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM THIS EVENING THROUGH LATE
FRIDAY NIGHT...

The Flood Watch continues for

* Portions of Delaware, northeast Maryland, New Jersey, and
  southeast Pennsylvania, including the following areas, in
  Delaware, Delaware Beaches, Inland Sussex, Kent, and New
  Castle. In northeast Maryland, Caroline, Cecil, Kent MD, Queen
  Annes, and Talbot. In New Jersey, Atlantic, Atlantic Coastal
  Cape May, Camden, Cape May, Coastal Atlantic, Coastal Ocean,
  Cumberland, Eastern Monmouth, Gloucester, Mercer, Middlesex,
  Northwestern Burlington, Ocean, Salem, Somerset, Southeastern
  Burlington, and Western Monmouth. In southeast Pennsylvania,
  Delaware, Lower Bucks, and Philadelphia.

* From this evening through late Friday night.

* Widespread rainfall of 1.5 to 2.5 inches, with locally higher
  amounts possible.

* Heavy rain will result in flooding of roadways and areas of poor
  drainage. There is also the potential for significant river
  flooding. The flood risk will increase where heavy rain and
  embedded thunderstorms move over the same area, even potentially
  leading to localized flash flooding.

* In addition to the freshwater flooding, the combination of heavy
  rain and increased tide levels during the times of high tide
  Friday morning will result in minor to locally moderate coastal
  flooding along the Atlantic, Delaware Bay, the tidal Delaware
  River, and the eastern shores of the Chesapeake Bay.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecasts.

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible
Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be
prepared to take action should flooding develop.
