Alert

Flash Flood watch in our area from Noon thru late tonight. Severe Thunderstorms could produce heavy rain. Monitor forecasts for updates

...FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM NOON EDT TODAY
THROUGH LATE TONIGHT...

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.

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.

Instructions:

Follow local forecasts for latest updates.
