...FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH TUESDAY
AFTERNOON...

The Flash Flood Watch continues for

* Portions of Delaware, northeast Maryland, and Pennsylvania,
  including the following areas, in Delaware, Kent and New
  Castle. In northeast Maryland, Caroline, Cecil, Kent MD, Queen
  Annes, and Talbot. In Pennsylvania, Berks, Carbon, Delaware,
  Eastern Chester, Eastern Montgomery, Lehigh, Lower Bucks,
  Monroe, Northampton, Philadelphia, Upper Bucks, Western
  Chester, and Western Montgomery.

* Through Tuesday afternoon.

* Showers and some thunderstorms are expected to become more
  numerous late tonight and Tuesday morning. A tropical airmass
  will support areas of very heavy rain, especially where showers
  and thunderstorms move over the same area. Rainfall amounts over
  1 inch in an hour will be possible, and any training of heavy
  showers will lead to even higher amounts.

* Excessive 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.

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.
