  Pennsylvania, Monroe and Northampton.

* Through Sunday afternoon.

* Flooding from ice jams is possible near and along the Delaware
  River below the Smithfield Beach National Recreation Area.

* Four miles of river ice currently exists from the Smithfield
  Beach National Recreation Area downstream to the confluence of
  Brodhead Creek. The ice is mostly bank to bank and is causing

  and remaining above freezing tonight, melting and fracturing
  will become more likely over the course of the weekend.
  Additional restrictions or ice jams could develop farther
  downstream.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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

Keep in mind that flooding impacts that are normally seen with
water moving downstream can vary with water backing up.

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.
