...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING...

The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has issued a

* Flash Flood Watch for portions of Delaware, northeast 
  Maryland, southern New Jersey, and southeast 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 southern 
  New Jersey, Camden, Cumberland, Gloucester, and Salem. In 
  southeast Pennsylvania, Delaware, Eastern Chester, Eastern 
  Montgomery, Philadelphia, Western Chester, and Western 
  Montgomery. 

* Through Friday morning.

* Multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms producing locally
  heavy rain are possible from this morning through tonight. The
  ground remains saturated in the region due to the recent heavy
  rains associated with Tropical Storm Isaias. This will make it
  easier than usual for flash flooding to occur in areas that 
  receive heavy rainfall over a short duration. 

* Areas of flash flooding are expected, especially in urban and
  flood-prone areas. Small streams and creeks will also be
  susceptible to flooding, especially those that remain elevated
  from antecedent rainfall.

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.
