THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY NJ HAS ISSUED AN

* URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOOD ADVISORY FOR...
  BERKS COUNTY IN EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA...
  LEHIGH COUNTY IN EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA...
  NORTHAMPTON COUNTY IN EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA...
  CARBON COUNTY IN NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA...
  MONROE COUNTY IN NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA...

* AT 532 PM EST...SURFACE OBSERVATIONS AS WELL AS DOPPLER RADAR      
  RAINFALL ESTIMATES INDICATED THAT BETWEEN ONE AND TWO INCHES OF    
  RAIN HAVE FALLEN ACROSS PARTS OF THE ADVISED AREA. BECAUSE         
  ADDITIONAL RAINFALL IS EXPECTED THIS EVENING ALONG WITH AN ADDED   
  CONTRIBUTION FROM MELTING SNOW AND ICE, AN URBAN AND SMALL STREAM  
  FLOOD ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED.

A FLOOD ADVISORY MEANS THAT ALTHOUGH STREAMS AND CREEKS MAY BE 
ELEVATED OR EVEN RISE OUT OF THEIR BANKS...PROPERTY DAMAGE WILL BE 
MINIMAL. INCONVENIENCES CAN BE EXPECTED BUT THE FLOODING WILL NOT BE 
IMMEDIATELY LIFE THREATENING.

NEVER DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE 
ROADWAY. FLOOD WATERS ARE USUALLY DEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. JUST ONE 
FOOT OF FLOWING WATER IS POWERFUL ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE 
ROAD. WHEN ENCOUNTERING FLOODED ROADS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE...TURN 
AROUND...DONT DROWN.
