...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM EDT THIS EVENING...

The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has issued a

* Flash Flood Watch 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, Camden, Gloucester,
  Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Morris, Northwestern Burlington,
  Salem, Somerset, Sussex, and Warren. In Pennsylvania, Berks,
  Carbon, Delaware, Eastern Chester, Eastern Montgomery, Lehigh,
  Lower Bucks, Monroe, Northampton, Philadelphia, Upper Bucks,
  Western Chester, and Western Montgomery.

* Until 7 PM EDT this evening

* Showers and thunderstorms will develop along and ahead of a cold
  front as it moves south across the area this afternoon. Some of
  these storms will likely be heavy and could produce rainfall
  amounts in excess of 2 inches within 1 to 2 hours. This may
  result in flash flooding, especially for urban areas along the
  Interstate 95 corridor.


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flash Flood Watch means that there is the potential for flash
flooding which can be life-threatening. Heavy rain is expected to
occur over a short period of time. Rapidly rising flood waters
may quickly inundate roadways and areas of poor drainage. Streams
and creeks could leave their banks, flooding nearby properties.

Please monitor the forecast, especially if you live in a location
that is prone to flooding. Be prepared to take action if a flash
flood warning is issued for your area.
