...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY
AFTERNOON...

The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has issued a

* 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, Coastal
  Ocean, Eastern Monmouth, Gloucester, Hunterdon, Mercer,
  Middlesex, Morris, Northwestern Burlington, Ocean, Salem,
  Somerset, Southeastern Burlington, Sussex, Warren, and Western
  Monmouth. In Pennsylvania, Delaware, Eastern Chester, Eastern
  Montgomery, Lehigh, Lower Bucks, Northampton, Philadelphia,
  Upper Bucks, Western Chester, and Western Montgomery.

* From late tonight through Thursday afternoon

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

* Rain is expected to spread across the area tonight, with
  moderate to heavy rain expected at times late tonight through
  early Thursday afternoon. 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. An isolated instance of flash flooding cannot be ruled
  out. River flooding is also possible, especially on the Passaic
  and Millstone Rivers, if the axis of heaviest rainfall
  intersects the associated basins.

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.
