The National Weather Service out of Mount Holly, New Jersey has put a Flood Watch into effect starting Saturday, July 5 at 12:09 PM Eastern Time, with the watch continuing through Sunday, July 6 at 8:00 PM Eastern Time.
A Flood Watch means that conditions are favorable for flooding to develop in the affected area. Residents are encouraged to monitor local forecasts closely and be ready to take action if flooding begins or a more urgent Flood Warning is issued.
If you live in a low-lying area or near streams and waterways, now is the time to make preparations. Avoid unnecessary travel through areas prone to standing water, and never attempt to drive through flooded roadways.
TV Delmarva will continue to monitor this situation and provide updates as new information becomes available from the National Weather Service.
