Jersey... Middlesex... Morris... Somerset... Sussex and Warren. In

where flooding was recent or even ongoing may experience renewed
flooding into the middle of this coming week... and are urged to
check preparedness requirements and be ready for action if a
warning is issued or flooding occurs.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecasts.

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible
flood warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be
prepared to take action should flooding develop.
