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

The Flash Flood Watch continues for

* Portions of Delaware, northeast Maryland, New Jersey, and
  southeast Pennsylvania, including the following areas, in
  Delaware, Delaware Beaches, Inland Sussex, Kent, and New
  Castle. In northeast Maryland, Caroline, Cecil, Kent MD, Queen
  Annes, and Talbot. 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 southeast
  Pennsylvania, Delaware, Eastern Chester, Eastern Montgomery,
  Lower Bucks, Philadelphia, Upper Bucks, Western Chester, and
  Western Montgomery.

* Until 2 AM EDT Wednesday

* A line of moderate to heavy showers and thunderstorms continues
  to move across the area this evening. There are indications that
  storms may repeatedly move or train over the same areas,
  especially this evening portions of southern New Jersey,
  Delaware and eastern shore of Maryland. 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.
