...FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON...

The Flash 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 and Kent
  MD. In New Jersey, Camden, Gloucester, Hunterdon, Mercer,
  Middlesex, Northwestern Burlington, Salem, Somerset, and
  Warren. In Pennsylvania, Berks, Delaware, Eastern Chester,
  Eastern Montgomery, Lehigh, Lower Bucks, Northampton,
  Philadelphia, Upper Bucks, Western Chester, and Western
  Montgomery.

* Through Sunday afternoon.

* Some showers and a thunderstorm especially over portions of
  eastern Pennsylvania, northern New Jersey and Maryland this
  evening will transition into a widespread rain overnight through
  much of Sunday across the watch area. Some of the rain will
  become heavy at times. Total rainfall amounts by late Sunday
  are expected to be 1 to 2 inches with locally higher amounts
  possible. This will result in rises on rivers and streams with
  the potential for urban and small stream flooding. Flash
  flooding will also be possible where very heavy rain falls in a
  short period of time.

* Rain will taper off through the latter portion of Sunday
  afternoon into Sunday evening.

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.
