Rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches, with locally higher amounts, will fall during this time. * The heaviest rain will fall across portions of Delmarva and the Coastal Plain of New Jersey. The Interstate 95 corridor is also susceptible to heavy rain and flash flooding. Flash flooding is possible on roadways and especially in areas of poor drainage. Minor flooding along small streams and creeks is 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. && $$ Meola
