...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE TONIGHT...

The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has issued a

* Flash Flood Watch for far northwestern New Jersey and the
  Southern Poconos and Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania, including
  the following areas, in northern New Jersey, Sussex and Warren.
  In Pennsylvania, Berks, Carbon, Lehigh, Monroe, and Northampton.

* Through late tonight

* Two rounds of heavy rain are possible. The first one is expected
  this evening. A second round of heavy rain is possible after
  midnight. This comes just a few days after the area received 1
  to 2 inches of widespread rain, making the ground already very
  saturated. Any additional rain will quickly become runoff.

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.
