...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY
EVENING...

The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has issued a

* Flood Watch for portions of New Jersey and Pennsylvania,
  including the following areas, in New Jersey, Camden, Coastal
  Ocean, Eastern Monmouth, Gloucester, Hunterdon, Mercer,
  Middlesex, Morris, Northwestern Burlington, Ocean, Somerset,
  Southeastern Burlington, Sussex, Warren, and Western Monmouth.
  In Pennsylvania, Berks, Carbon, Delaware, Eastern Chester,
  Eastern Montgomery, Lehigh, Lower Bucks, Monroe, Northampton,
  Philadelphia, Upper Bucks, Western Chester, and Western
  Montgomery.

* From late tonight through Monday evening

* The remnant low of Gordon will pass to the north and west of
  the region late this weekend and early in the new week. With
  abundant moisture out ahead of it, a prolonged period of
  moderate to heavy rain will fall starting late tonight and
  continuing into Monday. 1 to 3 inches of rain is expected
  throughout the watch area, but there is the potential for
  training of thunderstorms that could result in 5 inches or more
  of rain. The grounds in southeast Pennsylvania and most of New
  Jersey are quite saturated, so it will not take much for
  flooding to occur.

* Excessive rainfall will lead to rapidly rising water and
  flooding, particularly in urban areas and along small creeks and
  streams. There is also the potential for flash flooding during
  this time.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible
Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be
prepared to take action should flooding develop.
