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

The Flood Watch continues for

* Portions of Delaware, northeast Maryland, New Jersey, and
  Pennsylvania, including the following areas, in Delaware,
  Delaware Beaches, Inland Sussex, Kent, and New Castle. In
  northeast Maryland, Caroline, Cecil, Kent MD, Queen Annes, and
  Talbot. In New Jersey, Camden, Gloucester, Hunterdon, Mercer,
  Middlesex, Morris, Northwestern Burlington, Salem, Somerset,
  Sussex, and Warren. In Pennsylvania, Berks, Carbon, Delaware,
  Eastern Chester, Eastern Montgomery, Lehigh, Lower Bucks,
  Monroe, Northampton, Philadelphia, Upper Bucks, Western
  Chester, and Western Montgomery.

* Through Friday afternoon

* Periods of heavy rain will move in west to east through early
  this evening and continue for several hours before the rain
  diminishes overnight. Rainfall amounts will generally range from
  1.5 to 2.5 inches over the watch area; however, locally higher
  amounts will be possible, particularly over the higher terrain
  of eastern Pennsylvania and northwest New Jersey. Locally higher
  amounts could also occur if any heavier showers or embedded
  thunderstorms train over the same area.

* As a result of the rainfall, urban, poor drainage, and low-
  lying flooding may begin through late this afternoon into early
  this evening. Small stream as well as main stem river flooding
  is possible in places overnight into Friday. 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.
