...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM THURSDAY EVENING THROUGH LATE
FRIDAY NIGHT...

The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has issued a

* Flood Watch 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, Atlantic, Atlantic Coastal 
  Cape May, Camden, Cape May, Coastal Atlantic, Coastal Ocean, 
  Cumberland, Eastern Monmouth, Gloucester, Hunterdon, Mercer, 
  Middlesex, Northwestern Burlington, Ocean, Salem, Somerset, 
  Southeastern Burlington, Warren, and Western Monmouth. In 
  Pennsylvania, Berks, Delaware, Eastern Chester, Eastern 
  Montgomery, Lehigh, Lower Bucks, Northampton, Philadelphia, 
  Upper Bucks, Western Chester, and Western Montgomery. 

* From Thursday evening through late Friday night

* Periods of light to moderate rain will continue this afternoon 
  through tomorrow. A brief break in the rain is expected early 
  tomorrow evening before it once again intensifies and becomes more 
  widespread tomorrow night. Periods of moderate to heavy rain are 
  then expected to persist into at least Friday, possibly into the 
  weekend. General rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches are expected 
  the next 72 hours with the highest totals along and south of the 
  Interstate 78 corridor. Locally higher amounts are possible across 
  the same area as thunderstorms are expected to periodically 
  develop.

* A variety of flooding types are all possible within the Flood
  Watch area. First, low-lying and poor drainage flooding is the
  most likely type of flooding to develop. Second, flash flooding
  will be possible under the stronger thunderstorms. Flash
  flooding occurs quicker than other types flooding due to the
  torrential rain thunderstorms can produce in a short amount of
  time. Flash flooding is most likely to occur across urban areas
  where rainfall runoff is maximized and where small creeks and
  streams respond quickly. The rain has to go somewhere and
  eventually leads to larger streams and rivers. This is where the
  third type of flooding is possible. If you live across the 
  Passaic, Raritan, and Rancocas basins in New Jersey or the 
  Neshaminy, Schuylkill, and Brandywine basins across Pennsylvania
  and Delaware, keep an eye on later forecasts. These forecasts, 
  as well as all of our hydrologic forecasts, can be accessed via 
  our Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service website.
 
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.

...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM THURSDAY EVENING THROUGH
LATE FRIDAY NIGHT...

The Flood Watch continues for

* Delaware and portions of northeast Maryland, New Jersey, and
  eastern Pennsylvania. 

* From Thursday evening through late Friday night.

* Periods of light to moderate rain will continue Friday. Heavier
  precipitation is expected to move into the area Thursday night.
  Periods of moderate to heavy rain are then expected to persist
  into at least Friday, possibly into the weekend. General
  rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches are expected over the next 72
  hours with the highest totals occurring along and south of the
  Interstate 78 corridor. Locally higher amounts over 5 inches are
  possible in slow-moving thunderstorms. 

* A variety of flooding types are possible. Low-lying and poor
  drainage flooding will be the most common type of flooding to
  develop. Flash flooding will also be possible if thunderstorms
  repeatedly move over the same locations, especially in urban
  areas where rainfall runoff is maximized and where small creeks
  and streams respond quickly. Flash flooding occurs quicker than
  other types flooding due to the torrential rain thunderstorms
  can produce in a short amount of time. Several days of excessive
  runoff will eventually lead to a risk of flooding in larger
  streams and rivers though the extent of the flooding will depend
  on where the heaviest rain falls.

 PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecasts.

If you live across the Passaic, Raritan, and Rancocas basins in 
New Jersey or the Neshaminy, Schuylkill, and Brandywine basins 
across Pennsylvania and Delaware, keep an eye on later river
forecasts. These forecasts, as well as all of our hydrologic 
forecasts, can be accessed via our Advanced Hydrologic Prediction 
Service website. Those living in areas prone to flooding should

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

The Flood Watch continues for

* Delaware, northeast Maryland, most of New Jersey, and portions
  of southeast Pennsylvania. 

* Through Saturday afternoon

* Periods of moderate to heavy rain will move into southern New
  Jersey and the Delmarva this morning. Periods of moderate to
  heavy rain will move into Delmarva late tonight through Saturday
  morning, then expand northward into southeastern Pennsylvania
  and New Jersey Saturday afternoon and night. Additional rainfall
  amounts of 1 to 4 inches are expected over the next 72 hours
  with the highest totals occurring in Delmarva and far southern
  New Jersey. Locally higher amounts over 5 inches are possible in
  slow-moving thunderstorms. 

* A variety of flooding types are possible. Low-lying and poor 
  drainage flooding will be the most common type of flooding to 
  develop. Flash flooding will also be possible if thunderstorms 
  repeatedly move over the same locations, especially in urban 
  areas where rainfall runoff is maximized and where small 
  creeks and streams respond quickly. Flash flooding occurs 
  quicker than other types flooding due to the torrential rain 
  thunderstorms can produce in a short amount of time. Several 
  days of excessive runoff will eventually lead to a risk of 
  flooding in larger streams and rivers though the extent of the 
  flooding will depend on where the heaviest rain falls. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecasts.

If you live across the Passaic, Raritan, and Rancocas basins in
New Jersey or the Neshaminy, Schuylkill, and Brandywine basins
across Pennsylvania and Delaware, keep an eye on later river
forecasts. These forecasts, as well as all of our hydrologic
forecasts, can be accessed via our Advanced Hydrologic Prediction
Service website. Those living in areas prone to flooding should
be prepared to take action should flooding develop.

...FLOOD WATCH IS CANCELLED...

Surface high pressure pushed south today across northern New Jersey
and northeast Pennsylvania. This kept the rain to our south all day.
As a result, the region did not pick up the rainfall that was expected.
This rain to our south will slowly track to the north tonight back
across the area, but it's also expected to be on the lighter side.
For these reasons, the Flood Watch has been cancelled.

* Rain has fallen across southern New Jersey and the Delmarva for
  much of the day. Over three inches have fallen in spots today
  alone. This is on top of the rainfall that occurred the last few
  days. The rain hasn't been as steady across southeastern
  Pennsylvania nor central New Jersey. Periods of rain remain in
  the forecast tonight through Saturday. Going forward, another
  inch can be expected. 

* With the heaviest rain falling across southern Delaware and the
  adjacent Maryland Eastern Shore last night and today, the threat
  of mainstem river flooding across New Jersey and southern
  Pennsylvania has diminished. Low lying and poor drainage can
  still be expected to develop through Saturday. Flash flooding
  also remains possible as thunderstorms are expected on Saturday.
  Continue to keep an eye on later forecasts. All of our
