[BonzoHansen]

OK, wtf? One of the reasons I put up with NJ is we generally don't have insane weather. So if we start getting twisters I'm leaving!

We get tornado watches frequently. Earlier in the summer a few really small ones touched down in the Hamilton area

[BigAls87Z28]

Wouldnt be the first time Ive seen the watch, but considering today was a pretty calm day with very little rain or anything else, I thought it was odd.

...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY HAS ISSUED A

* FLOOD WATCH FOR PORTIONS OF DELAWARE...NORTHEAST MARYLAND... NEW JERSEY AND PENNSYLVANIA...INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING AREAS... IN DELAWARE...DELAWARE BEACHES...INLAND SUSSEX...KENT AND NEW CASTLE. IN NORTHEAST MARYLAND...CAROLINE...CECIL...KENT MD... QUEEN ANNES AND TALBOT. IN NEW JERSEY...ATLANTIC...ATLANTIC COASTAL CAPE MAY...CAMDEN...CAPE MAY...COASTAL ATLANTIC... COASTAL OCEAN...CUMBERLAND...EASTERN MONMOUTH...GLOUCESTER... HUNTERDON...MERCER...MIDDLESEX...MORRIS...NORTHWES TERN BURLINGTON...OCEAN...SALEM...SOMERSET...SOUTHEASTE RN BURLINGTON...SUSSEX...WARREN AND WESTERN MONMOUTH. IN PENNSYLVANIA...BERKS...BUCKS...CARBON...CHESTER... DELAWARE... LEHIGH...MONROE...MONTGOMERY...NORTHAMPTON AND PHILADELPHIA.

* FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING

* LOW PRESSURE WITH TROPICAL CHARACTERISTICS WILL MOVE UP THE EAST COAST TONIGHT AND THURSDAY. WITH EXTREMELY HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT...A STRONG STORM INFLOW...AND LOTS OF INSTABILITY...RAIN BEGINNING TONIGHT WILL BE HEAVY AT TIMES LATER TONIGHT AND ESPECIALLY THURSDAY. THE RAIN SHOULD TAPER OFF THURSDAY NIGHT AS THE CENTER OF TROPICAL LOW PRESSURE MOVES NORTH OF OUR AREA. TOTAL PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO AVERAGE 2 TO 4 INCHES...BUT LOCAL AMOUNTS MAY BE UP TO 6 OR 7 INCHES. ALTHOUGH THE FORECAST COULD CHANGE...AT THIS TIME THE GREATEST PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED OVER THE NORTHEAST MARYLAND SHORE...EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA...DELAWARE...AND WESTERN NEW JERSEY. SLIGHTLY LESSER ALTHOUGH STILL HEAVY AMOUNTS MAY OCCUR CLOSER TO THE NEW JERSEY COAST.

* RECENT HEAVY RAINS OVER PARTS OF THE DELMARVA PENINSULA AND IN THE SOUTHERN POCONOS HAVE ELEVATED STREAM LEVELS AND GROUND MOISTURE TO SOME DEGREE. ALTHOUGH OTHER AREAS EXPERIENCED LESS RAIN AND SOIL MOISTURE MAY BE LESS...COPIOUS RAIN AND ESPECIALLY ENHANCED RAIN RATES WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE FLOOD THREAT. SO...THERE IS A STRONG POTENTIAL FOR PROLONGED HEAVY RAIN WITH THIS APPROACHING RAIN-MAKER THROUGHOUT OUR AREA...AND THIS MEANS THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF SERIOUS FLOODING FOR THE REGION THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. FLOODING WOULD BE POSSIBLE FIRST ON THE SMALLER STREAMS AND CREEKS...BUT MAY ALSO BE POSSIBLE SOMEWHAT LATER FOR SOME OF THE LARGER RIVERS. A FEW EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS COULD ALSO CAUSE LOCALLY HIGHER RAIN AMOUNTS MAINLY SOUTH OF I-195 IN NEW JERSEY AND THE PENNSYLVANIA TURNPIKE. ANY THUNDERSTORMS COULD CAUSE FLASH FLOODING... ESPECIALLY IF THEY TRAIN OVER LOCAL AREAS. LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING MAY ALSO BE POSSIBLE IN HILLY AREAS...SUCH AS THE LEHIGH VALLEY AND SOUTHERN POCONOS AS WELL AS NORTHWESTERN NEW JERSEY.

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.
