THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY NJ HAS ISSUED A

* FLOOD ADVISORY FOR...
  MORRIS COUNTY IN NORTHERN NEW JERSEY...
  SOMERSET COUNTY IN NORTHERN NEW JERSEY...
  MERCER COUNTY IN CENTRAL NEW JERSEY...
  MIDDLESEX COUNTY IN NORTHERN NEW JERSEY...

* UNTIL 300 PM EDT

* AT 1106 AM EDT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED A  
  LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVING INTO CENTRAL AND NORTHERN 
  NEW JERSEY FROM THE WEST. SOME THUNDERSTORMS IN THIS LINE WERE     
  PRODUCING RAINFALL RATES EXCEEDING ONE INCH PER HOUR. PONDING OF   
  WATER IN LOW LYING AREAS AND IN AREAS OF POOR DRAINAGE CAN BE      
  EXPECTED AS THIS LINE MOVES THROUGH LATE THIS MORNING AND EARLY    
  THIS AFTERNOON. 

MOST FLOOD DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES. 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.

A FLOOD ADVISORY MEANS RIVER OR STREAM FLOWS ARE ELEVATED OR PONDING
OF WATER IN URBAN OR OTHER AREAS IS OCCURRING OR IS IMMINENT.
