...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY 

AFTERNOON...



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



* WHERE...Portions of northern Delaware, including the following 

  area, New Castle, New Jersey, including the following areas, 

  Camden, Gloucester, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Morris, 

  Northwestern Burlington, Salem, Somerset, Sussex, Warren and

* WHEN...From Wednesday morning through Thursday afternoon.



* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, 

  creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.



* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

  - Additional rainfall amounts between 1.0 to 3.0 inches are

    likely across portions of the Watch area through Thursday.

    About two dozen of our river points are forecast to approach

    flood stage Wednesday into Thursday, with several exceeding

    flood stage. The most intense rain is expected to fall

    Wednesday into Wednesday evening, and with these high

    rainfall rates, flash flooding cannot be ruled out. Excessive

    runoff may continue to cause rivers, creeks, and streams to

    rise through the end of the week even when the rain has

    ended.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...



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.
