358 PM EST WED DEC 1 2010

...THE FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 445 PM EST FOR URBAN
AREAS AND SMALL STREAMS IN MONTGOMERY AND WEST CENTRAL PHILADELPHIA
COUNTIES...

IN RESPONSE TO THE 2 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN THAT FELL EARLIER TODAY,
FLOODING HAS BEEN REPORTED IN SCHWENKSVILLE ON THE EAST BRANCH OF 
THE PERKIOMEN. THE WISSAHICKON CREEK AT FORT WASHINGTON IS CLOSE TO 
FLOOD STAGE AND WILL LIKELY FLOOD WITHIN THE HOUR. OTHER STREAMS AND 
CREEKS MAY ALSO REACH OR APPROACH FLOOD STAGE THIS AFTERNOON. SINCE 
THE RAIN HAS ENDED IN THE AREA, WATER LEVELS WILL BEGIN TO LOWER IN 
THE WARNED AREA LATER THIS EVENING. 

A FLOOD WARNING MEANS THAT FLOODING IS IMMINENT OR HAS BEEN REPORTED.
STREAM RISES WILL BE SLOW AND FLASH FLOODING IS NOT EXPECTED.
HOWEVER...ALL INTERESTED PARTIES SHOULD TAKE NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS
IMMEDIATELY.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE
ROADWAY. THE WATER DEPTH MAY BE TOO GREAT TO ALLOW YOUR CAR TO CROSS
SAFELY. MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND.
