Might as well start one:

*Flash Flood Watch from 4PM Wed. to 7AM Thurs. Be prepared to take action if flooding develops.*

... Flash Flood Watch in effect from Wednesday afternoon through
Thursday morning...

The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has issued a

* Flash Flood Watch for portions of northern Delaware...
northeast Maryland... New Jersey and Pennsylvania... including
the following areas... in northern Delaware... New Castle. In
northeast Maryland... Cecil. In New Jersey... Camden... eastern
Monmouth... Gloucester... Hunterdon... Mercer... Middlesex...
Morris... northwestern Burlington... Salem... Somerset... Sussex...
Warren and western Monmouth. In Pennsylvania... Berks...
Carbon... Delaware... eastern Chester... eastern Montgomery...
Lehigh... lower Bucks... Monroe... Northampton... Philadelphia...
upper Bucks... western Chester and western Montgomery.

* From Wednesday afternoon through Thursday morning

* A slow-moving and potent cold front will tap the Gulf of Mexico,
and it is forecast to generate rainfall amounts of between one and
two and one-half inches. Locally higher amounts are possible in
prolonged and heavy downpours. Moreover, thunderstorms may
develop.

* Prolonged and heavy downpours would cause flash flooding in some
locations. Road flooding is likely. Since the ground is frozen
just below the surface and plants are taking in very Little
Water, heavy rainfall will not be absorbed. Any lingering snow on
the ground northwest of Philadelphia would melt and exacerbate
runoff.

* Flooding of smaller and more flashy creeks and streams also is
possible. Major river flooding is not likely.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.

You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should flash flood warnings be issued.
