in poor drainage and urban areas. Area creeks and streams are
running high and could flood with more heavy rain.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- A low pressure system will bring rain, heavy at times,
through tonight. Another 1 to 2 inches of rainfall is
forecast within the Flood Watch area in addition to the
multiple rounds of rainfall we've already had over the past
week. This is likely to bring several river gauges into flood
stage across the Passaic, Raritan, and Rancocas basins by
Sunday. Urban flooding will also be a threat around the
Philadelphia and Allentown metro areas as the heaviest rain
moves across the region early in the overnight hours.

to take action should flooding develop.
