The remnants of Gordon will be moving into our area later tonight and will pose a flood watch for our area.
..FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY
EVENING…
The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has issued a
* Flood Watch for portions of New Jersey and Pennsylvania,
including the following areas, in New Jersey, Hunterdon, Sussex, Warren,
* From late tonight through Monday evening
* The remnant low of Gordon will pass to the north and west of
the region late this weekend and early in the new week. With
abundant moisture out ahead of it, a prolonged period of
moderate to heavy rain will fall starting late tonight and
continuing into Monday. 1 to 3 inches of rain is expected
throughout the watch area, but there is the potential for
training of thunderstorms that could result in 5 inches or more
of rain. The grounds in southeast Pennsylvania and most of New
Jersey are quite saturated, so it will not take much for
flooding to occur.
* Excessive rainfall will lead to rapidly rising water and
flooding, particularly in urban areas and along small creeks and
streams. There is also the potential for flash flooding during
this time.
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.
