...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM 2 PM EDT THIS AFTERNOON
THROUGH LATE TONIGHT...

The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has expanded the

* Flash Flood Watch to include a portion of northeast
  Pennsylvania, including the following areas, Carbon and
  Monroe.

* From 2 PM EDT this afternoon through late tonight

* A hot and humid airmass will spread over the region today, and
  then the remnants of what was Tropical Cyclone Barry will pass
  through the region tonight. Showers and thunderstorms this
  afternoon and tonight will be capable of producing torrential
  rainfall, with local amounts of 2 to 4 inches and even higher
  localized amounts potentially occurring in a short period of
  time. This could lead to flash flooding.

* The risk of flash flooding is highest in urbanized and low-
  lying areas. Rapid rises on small creeks and streams are
  possible.

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.
