...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM 7 PM EST THIS EVENING THROUGH
SUNDAY AFTERNOON...

The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has issued a

* Flood Watch for portions of northern Delaware, northeast
  Maryland, New Jersey, and southeast Pennsylvania, including
  the following areas, in northern Delaware, New Castle. In
  northeast Maryland, Cecil. In New Jersey, Camden, Eastern
  Monmouth, Gloucester, Mercer, Middlesex, Northwestern
  Burlington, Salem, and Western Monmouth. In southeast
  Pennsylvania, Delaware, Eastern Chester, Eastern Montgomery,
  Lower Bucks, Philadelphia, and Western Chester.

* From 7 PM EST this evening through Sunday afternoon

* Rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches are expected across the watch
  area, with locally higher amounts possible.

* Periods of moderate to heavy rain will occur from late this
  evening through early Sunday morning. In the areas of heaviest
  rainfall, urban and poor-drainage flooding is expected to occur.
  Sensitive streams and creeks will also be susceptible to
  flooding, especially in areas where convection enhances
  rainfall rates. River flooding cannot be ruled out, particularly
  if widespread rainfall totals exceed 2 inches.

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.
