...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT...

The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has expanded the

* Flash Flood Watch to include portions of central New Jersey,
  northern New Jersey, northwest New Jersey, and southern New
  Jersey, including the following areas, in central New Jersey,
  Eastern Monmouth, Mercer, and Western Monmouth. In northern
  New Jersey, Middlesex, Morris, Somerset, Sussex, and Warren.
  In northwest New Jersey, Hunterdon. In southern New Jersey,
  Camden, Coastal Ocean, Gloucester, Northwestern Burlington,
  Ocean, Salem, and Southeastern Burlington.

* Through late Wednesday night

* Showers and some thunderstorms are expected to become more
  numerous tonight and continue through Wednesday and Wednesday
  night. 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.
