...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM EDT THIS EVENING...

The Flood Watch continues for

* Portions of Delaware, northeast Maryland, southern New Jersey,
  and 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 southern New Jersey, Atlantic, Atlantic Coastal
  Cape May, Camden, Cape May, Coastal Atlantic, Coastal Ocean,
  Cumberland, Gloucester, Northwestern Burlington, Ocean, Salem,
  and Southeastern Burlington. In Pennsylvania, Berks, Delaware,
  Eastern Chester, Eastern Montgomery, Philadelphia, Western
  Chester, and Western Montgomery.

* Until 6 PM EDT this evening

* Excessive rains on Friday, up to three inches, in parts of
  Delmarva, have saturated the grounds there. These rains occurred
  in addition to the rainfall that occurred over the last few
  days. Additional rains for today, generally in the range of 0.50
  to 1.25 inches can be expected through this afternoon with the
  heaviest amounts most likely falling over northern Delmarva
  extending northeast along the I-95 corridor. Locally, amounts
  may be higher...especially in any thunderstorms that develop.

* With the heaviest rain falling across southern Delaware and
  the adjacent Maryland Eastern Shore on Friday, the threat of
  mainstem river flooding in New Jersey and southern
  Pennsylvania has diminished for the weekend. Low-lying and
  poor drainage flooding can still be expected to develop
  through today. The threat of flash flooding has lowered but is
  still possible with any thunderstorms that develop.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Continue to keep an eye on later forecasts. All of our hydrologic
forecasts can be accessed via our Advanced Hydrologic Prediction
Service website. While the threat of mainstem river flooding has
indeed diminished, it has not been completely eliminated.

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