The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has expanded the

* Flood Watch to include the coastal sections of Sussex County in
  southern Delaware.

* From Thursday afternoon through Friday afternoon

* Periods of heavy rain will begin late Thursday afternoon with
  the threat of heavy rainfall continuing into the overnight
  hours. Rainfall will decrease in intensity Friday morning, but
  impacts from the earlier heavier rainfall may linger into
  Friday. Rainfall amounts will generally be around 2 inches for
  Sussex County; however, locally higher amounts are possible.

* As a result of the rainfall, poor drainage and low-lying
  flooding may begin by Thursday evening with runoff problems
  continuing into Friday morning. Please refer to the Advanced
  Hydrologic Prediction Service (AHPS) website for the latest
  crest forecasts.

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.
