The Mount Holly National Weather Service has issued a flash flood watch for portions of Delaware to include New Castle county that is in effect though late tonight.

Summer like conditions with an approaching cold front will produce several bands of very heavy rain in eastern Pennsylvania and northern Delaware, mainly between 5pm and midnight.

If 1 to 2 inches of rain occurs in an hour on urban surfaces from Wilmington to Philadelphia as well as in portions of Monroe, Carbon, Bucks, Lehigh and Berks counties that recieved 2 to 6 inches of rain this past weekend flash flooding would result.

A flash flood watch means that conditions my 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.
