Advisory
Flood Watch
Flood Watch 
Flood Watch from Tomorrow at 7PM until 12/21 7PM. Be prepared to take action in the event that flooding develops.
* Flood Watch for portions of Delaware, much of New Jersey,
southeast Pennsylvania along the tidal Delaware River, and
northeast Maryland.
* From Thursday evening through Friday evening
* strong low pressure will impact the area Thursday night
through Friday, resulting in a widespread rainfall of 1.5 to
2.5 inches with locally higher amounts.
* Given the recent heavy rain and how saturated he ground is, this
amount of rain will result in flooding of roadways and areas of
poor drainage, as well as the potential for significant river
flooding. In addition to the freshwater flooding, the
combination of heavy rain and increased tide levels during the
times of high tide Thursday night through Friday morning will
result in widespread moderate to locally major coastal flooding
along the Atlantic, Delaware Bay, the tidal Delaware River, and
the Eastern Shores of the Chesapeake Bay.
