Flood Watch until 08:00PM Sunday

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible.

* WHERE...Portions of northern New Jersey, including the following areas, Sussex and Warren and Pennsylvania, including the following areas, Berks, Carbon, Eastern Chester, Lehigh, Monroe, Northampton, Upper Bucks, Western Chester and Western Montgomery.

* WHEN...From 1 PM EST this afternoon through Sunday evening.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams are running high and may rise out of their banks and could flood with more heavy rain. Flooding may also occur in poor drainage and urban areas.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - A low pressure system will bring rain, heavy at times, Saturday afternoon through Saturday night. Another 1 to 2 inches of rainfall is forecast within the Flood Watch area in addition to the multiple rounds of rainfall we've already had over the past week. This is likely to bring several river gauges into flood stage across the Passaic, Raritan, and Rancocas basins by Sunday. Urban flooding will also be a threat around the Philadelphia metro area as the heaviest rain moves through late day Saturday into Saturday night. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
