...THE FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 130 AM EDT FOR URBAN
AREAS AND SMALL STREAMS IN BERKS COUNTY...

AT 1110 PM EDT, NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED THE 
HEAVIEST RAIN HAS SHIFTED EAST OF THE AREA. HOWEVER, AN AREA OF 
SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS UNTIL A COLD FRONT 
CLEARS THE AREA. WHILE EXCESSIVE RAINFALL RATES ARE NO LONGER 
ANTICIPATED WITH THE REMAINING SHOWERS, ADDITIONAL RUNOFF FROM THE 
EARLIER HEAVY RAIN WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE AREAS OF FLOODING IN 
POOR DRAINAGE AREAS AND ON SOME ROADWAYS.

A FLOOD WARNING MEANS THAT FLOODING IS IMMINENT OR HAS BEEN REPORTED.
ALL INTERESTED PARTIES SHOULD TAKE THE NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

EXCESSIVE RUNOFF FROM HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CAUSE ELEVATED LEVELS ON
SMALL CREEKS AND STREAMS...AND PONDING OF WATER IN URBAN AREAS...
HIGHWAYS...STREETS AND UNDERPASSES AS WELL AS OTHER POOR DRAINAGE
AREAS AND LOW LYING SPOTS.

BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS HARDER TO RECOGNIZE THE 
DANGERS OF FLOODING. DO NOT STAY IN AREAS SUBJECT TO FLOODING WHEN 
WATER BEGINS RISING.

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.
