...FLOOD WATCH NOW IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE MONDAY NIGHT...

The Flood Watch is now in effect for

* Portions of northern Delaware, northeast Maryland, New Jersey,
  and Pennsylvania, including the following areas, in northern
  Delaware, New Castle. In northeast Maryland, Cecil. In New
  Jersey, Atlantic, Camden, Coastal Ocean, Cumberland, Eastern
  Monmouth, Gloucester, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Morris,
  Northwestern Burlington, Ocean, Salem, 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.

* Through late Monday night

* The remnant low of Gordon will track north and west of our
  region later today through Monday, finally departing Monday
  night. Some areas of mainly light rain will evolve into a
  prolonged period of moderate to at times heavy rain during this
  time. A total of 1 to 3 inches of rain is expected throughout
  the watch area with some locally higher amounts possible.

* Excessive rainfall and runoff can lead to rising water and
  flooding, particularly in urban areas and along small creeks and
  streams. The ground, especially in southeastern Pennsylvania,
  northern Delaware and many places in New Jersey, is saturated.
  Therefore, it will not take much rain for some flooding to
  occur. There is also the potential for localized flash flooding
  during times of high rainfall rates.

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.
