...THE FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 745 AM EDT FOR
NORTHEASTERN CHESTER AND SOUTHWESTERN MONTGOMERY COUNTIES...

AT 630 AM EDT...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR CONTINUED TO 
INDICATE THE RAINFALL DIMINISHING IN CHESTER COUNTY AND MONTGOMERY 
COUNTY. HOWEVER...RUNOFF FROM THE HEAVY RAIN THAT FELL OVERNIGHT 
SHOULD CONTINUE TO CAUSE FLOODING ON AREA ROADWAYS, AS WELL AS 
FLOODING IN AREAS OF POOR DRAINAGE AND ALONG SMALL STREAMS AND 
CREEKS FOR ABOUT ANOTHER HOUR OR SO.

ALSO, A FLOOD WARNING IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1015 AM FOR EAST CENTRAL 
CHESTER COUNTY DUE TO MINOR FLOODING ALONG THE VALLEY CREEK.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.
