...FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS EVENING...

The Flash Flood Watch continues for

Portions of Delaware, northeast Maryland, southern New Jersey, and southeast Pennsylvania.

Through this evening

Slow moving showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop in the region today. Locally heavy downpours are anticipated. Rainfall amounts as high as 2 to 4 inches are possible in a short amount of time.

The ground remains saturated and streams and creeks are running high. As a result, much of the area is more susceptible to flooding than usual. The heavy rain will result in flooding of roadways and areas of poor drainage, as well as small streams and creeks.

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.
