...FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 4 PM EDT THIS
AFTERNOON THROUGH LATE TONIGHT...

The Flash Flood Watch continues for

* Portions of Delaware, northeast Maryland, New Jersey, and
  Pennsylvania, including the following areas, in Delaware, Kent
  and New Castle. In northeast Maryland, Cecil, Kent MD, and
  Queen Annes. In New Jersey, Atlantic, Atlantic Coastal Cape
  May, Camden, Cape May, Coastal Atlantic, Coastal Ocean,
  Cumberland, Eastern Monmouth, Gloucester, Hunterdon, Mercer,
  Middlesex, Northwestern Burlington, Ocean, Salem, Somerset,
  Southeastern Burlington, and Western Monmouth. In
  Pennsylvania, Berks, Delaware, Eastern Chester, Eastern
  Montgomery, Lehigh, Lower Bucks, Philadelphia, Upper Bucks,
  Western Chester, and Western Montgomery.

* From 4 PM EDT this afternoon through late tonight

* A line of intense thunderstorms is expected to move into the
  region from the northwest late this afternoon and this evening.
  There are indications that storms may repeatedly move over the
  same areas, especially later in the evening. Localized rainfall
  of one to three inches is likely where this occurs. Combined
  with the rainfall received this past weekend, this may lead to a
  few instances of flash flooding.

* The areas of greatest risk are poor-drainage and urban
  locations, where rapid runoff may cause localized flash
  flooding. Quickly responding creeks and streams may also
  experience flooding in areas receiving the heaviest rainfall.
  The storms are expected to move through the area during or
  just after the evening commute. Motorists should be prepared
  for torrential downpours and potential flooding as the storms
  move through.

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.
