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

The Flood Watch continues for

* Northeastern Maryland, Delaware, southeastern Pennsylvania and
  much of New Jersey.

* From Thursday afternoon through Friday afternoon

* Light rain will spread into the region tonight and intensify
  later in the day on Thursday. Periods of heavy rain can be
  expected to persist into Friday morning. The heavy rain threat
  will end Friday afternoon. Amounts up to three inches are
  possible. At this time, the heaviest rain is expected along and
  east of the I-95 corridor.

* As a result of the rainfall, poor drainage and low-lying
  flooding will likely begin late Thursday. Small stream as well
  as mainstem flooding is possible Thursday night and Friday. In
  some cases, flooding on the larger rivers could persist into the
  weekend. 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.
