Advisory
Flash Flood Watch
Flash Flood Watch in effect from 12 PM today until 6 AM on 6/18/2019. Be prepared to take action in the event that flooding develops.
The Flash Flood Watch continues for
* Northeast Maryland, Delaware, eastern and southeastern
Pennsylvania, and central and southern New Jersey.
* From noon EDT today through late tonight
* Strong thunderstorms are expected to develop and move through
the region this afternoon and evening. The environment will be
favorable for torrential rainfall with these storms.
Additionally, storms may begin to track over the same
locations as a very slow-moving front allows for the
redevelopment of storms in similar locations over time. There
is potential for one to three inches of rain in a very short
period of time where the strongest storms occur.
* Flash flooding is possible where the strongest storms develop
and persist. Flooding in urban and poor-drainage areas is
likely if torrential downpours occur. Rises on small creeks
and streams are possible as well.
