...THE URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL
415 AM EDT FOR WESTERN BURLINGTON...NORTHWESTERN ATLANTIC...NEW
CASTLE...SOUTHEASTERN CHESTER...PHILADELPHIA...DELAWARE...
GLOUCESTER...CAMDEN...NORTHERN CUMBERLAND AND SALEM COUNTIES...

AT 237 AM EDT MOST OF THE HEAVY SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS 
WERE MOVING THROUGH THE SOUTHWEST NEW JERSEY PORTION OF THE ADVISORY 
AREA BUT WERE WEAKENING. THE ADVISORY STILL CONTINUES FOR A PORTION 
OF NORTHERN DELAWARE WHERE RUNOFF FROM EARLIER HEAVY RAINS MAY STILL 
BE CAUSING RESIDUAL POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING. ADDITIONALLY...THE 
SHELLPOT CREEK IN FAR NORTHERN DELAWARE NEAR TALLEYVILLE MAY BE 
NEAR BANKFULL.   

INDICATIONS ARE THIS MIGHT BE THE LAST OF THE HEAVY RAINS OVERNIGHT 
BUT THE ADVISORY CONTINUES THROUGH ITS 415 AM EXPIRATION.

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.

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.

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