...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON...

The Flood Watch continues 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.

* Through this afternoon

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

* Light to moderate rain is moving into the area early this
  morning. Rain will become heavier later this morning through
  early this afternoon before moving offshore late in the day. 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 with
  enhanced rainfall rates. An isolated instance of flash flooding
  cannot be ruled out. River flooding is also possible, especially
  on the Passaic, Rockaway, North Branch Rancocas, and Millstone
  Rivers, if the axis of heaviest rainfall intersects these
  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.
