...FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS 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,

* Widespread rain, heavy at times, will continue to spread into
  the watch area this morning. Additional rainfall amounts of 1
  to 2 inches will be possible through this afternoon. 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.
