...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT UNTIL 2 AM EDT WEDNESDAY...

The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has expanded the

* Flash Flood Watch to include portions of southern Delaware and
  northeast Maryland, including the following areas, in southern
  Delaware, Delaware Beaches and Inland Sussex. In northeast
  Maryland, Caroline and Talbot.

* Until 2 AM EDT Wednesday

* A line of intense thunderstorms is on track to move into the
  region from the northwest between 5 PM and 9 PM, continuing
  into this evening. There are indications that storms may
  repeatedly move or train over the same areas, especially late
  this 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 at greatest risk are poor-drainage and urban locals,
  where rapid runoff may cause localized flash flooding. Quickly
  responding creeks and streams may also experience flooding in
  areas that receive the heaviest rainfall. In addition, storms
  are expected to move through the area during and 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.
