be some showers around through tonight into Sunday but any heavier
rain should stay east of the area so the threat of flooding has
diminished.

...FLOOD WATCH NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM EDT THIS EVENING...

The Flood Watch is now in effect for

* Portions of Delaware, northeast Maryland, and southern New
  Jersey, 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.

* Until 9 PM EDT this evening

* Excessive rains on Friday, up to three inches, in parts of the
  Delmarva, have saturated the grounds there. These rains occurred
  in addition to the rainfall that occurred over the last few
  days. Additional rounds of showers, heavy at times, will occur
  into early this evening with localized amounts exceeding an inch
  within 1 to 3 hours possible, especially over the Delmarva.
  This may result in urban and small stream flooding, especially
  for low lying areas. Localized flash flooding is also still
  possible, mainly for the Delmarva.


* Showers are expected to diminish in intensity and coverage
  around sunset with the threat of flooding diminishing by mid
  evening.

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.
