...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM THURSDAY EVENING THROUGH
LATE FRIDAY NIGHT...

The Flood Watch continues for

* Delaware and portions of northeast Maryland, New Jersey, and
  eastern Pennsylvania.

* From Thursday evening through late Friday night.

* Periods of light to moderate rain will continue Friday. Heavier
  precipitation is expected to move into the area Thursday night.
  Periods of moderate to heavy rain are then expected to persist
  into at least Friday, possibly into the weekend. General
  rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches are expected over the next 72
  hours with the highest totals occurring along and south of the
  Interstate 78 corridor. Locally higher amounts over 5 inches are
  possible in slow-moving thunderstorms.

* A variety of flooding types are possible. Low-lying and poor
  drainage flooding will be the most common type of flooding to
  develop. Flash flooding will also be possible if thunderstorms
  repeatedly move over the same locations, especially in urban
  areas where rainfall runoff is maximized and where small creeks
  and streams respond quickly. Flash flooding occurs quicker than
  other types flooding due to the torrential rain thunderstorms
  can produce in a short amount of time. Several days of excessive
  runoff will eventually lead to a risk of flooding in larger
  streams and rivers though the extent of the flooding will depend
  on where the heaviest rain falls.

 PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecasts.

If you live across the Passaic, Raritan, and Rancocas basins in
New Jersey or the Neshaminy, Schuylkill, and Brandywine basins
across Pennsylvania and Delaware, keep an eye on later river
forecasts. These forecasts, as well as all of our hydrologic
forecasts, can be accessed via our Advanced Hydrologic Prediction
Service website. Those living in areas prone to flooding should
be prepared to take action should flooding develop.
