The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has expanded the Flood Watch to include Chester County.

* From Thursday morning through Friday afternoon.

* Rain with embedded thunderstorms is forecast to overspread the
region on Thursday. Rain will likely be heavy at times,
especially Thursday morning into early afternoon.

* Rainfall totals of one to two inches with isolated three inch
amounts are expected. This will be the third rainfall event in
the last week. The ground remains wet, and rivers and streams
continue to run high.

* The moderate to heavy rain will likely result in some roadway
flooding along with flooding in areas of poor drainage on
Thursday. Isolated instances of flash flooding may occur,
especially in urban areas. Some small streams and creeks may
leave their banks Thursday afternoon into Thursday night. Minor
to moderate flooding could then occur along a number of larger
rivers late Thursday night into Friday. The river flooding could
persist through the weekend.
