*Flood Watch from Midnight tonight to Noon Thursday. Be prepared to take action in the event that flooding develops.*

...A Flood Watch is in effect from midnight EDT tonight through Thursday morning...

The Flood Watch continues for

* portions of northern Delaware...northeast Maryland...southwestern New Jersey and southeast Pennsylvania...including the following areas... in northern Delaware...New Castle. In northeast Maryland... Cecil and Kent MD. In southern New Jersey...Camden... Gloucester...northwestern Burlington and Salem. In Pennsylvania...Berks...Delaware...eastern Chester...eastern Montgomery...Philadelphia...western Chester and western Montgomery.

* From midnight EDT tonight through Thursday morning

* forecast rainfall of 3 to 5 inches over portions of this watch area very late tonight through Wednesday night is likely to cause areas of at least minor small stream and river flooding. There is still some uncertainty in where the heaviest rain will be...but at this time it appears to be from the Interstate 95 corridor westward. The potential exists for small pockets of moderate to major flooding but that will require about 3 inches of rain in 6 hours or storm totals of 4.5 inches.

* Heaviest rainfall will occur Wednesday into Wednesday night.

* The watch extends into Thursday...well after the heaviest rain has occurred since any flooding and crests of the larger rivers will likely be after the rain ends.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on current forecasts.

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.

230 PM EDT Tue Apr 29 2014

...Coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect from 11 PM this evening to 8 am EDT Wednesday...

* location...tidal sections of the Delaware River and its tributaries.

* Coastal flooding...areas of minor coastal flooding are likely with the high tide tonight.

* Timing...high tide will range from just after midnight at Reedy Point to around 3 am at Philadelphia along the Delaware River.

* Impacts...areas of poor drainage and roadway flooding are likely.

* Outlook...additional minor tidal flooding is possible with the high tide cycles on Wednesday and Wednesday night. Fresh water runoff may increase the potential for minor tidal flooding.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Coastal Flood Advisory indicates that minor tidal flooding is anticipated. Minor tidal flooding often results in some Road closures. Usually...the most vulnerable roadways will flood.

A Flood Warning means that flooding is occurring. All interested parties should take necessary precautions immediately to save life and property.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Most flood deaths occur in automobiles. Never drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the roadway. Flood waters are usually deeper than they appear. Just one foot of flowing water is powerful enough to sweep vehicles off the Road. When encountering flooded roads make the smart choice...turn around...dont drown.

Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause elevated levels on small creeks and streams...and ponding of water in urban areas... highways...streets and underpasses as well as other poor drainage areas and low lying spots.

Do not drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the roadway. The water depth may be too great to allow your car to cross safely. Move to higher ground.

Driving into flood waters could put your life at risk and cost you thousands of dollars in vehicle repairs. Flood waters may be deeper than you think. Turn around and find an alternate Route.

Do not underestimate the power of flood waters. Only a few inches of rapidly flowing water can quickly carry away your vehicle.
