THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY NJ HAS ISSUED AN

* URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOOD ADVISORY FOR...
  NORTHERN CECIL COUNTY IN NORTHEAST MARYLAND...
  CHESTER COUNTY IN SOUTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA...

* UNTIL 1045 AM EDT

* AT 647 AM EDT WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED AN AREA OF 
HEAVY RAINFALL EXTENDING FROM CENTRAL CHESTER COUNTY SOUTHWEST INTO 
CENTRAL CECIL COUNTY. THE HEAVY RAIN IS MOVING SLOWLY TO THE 
NORTHEAST AND CURRENT ESTIMATES SHOW NEARLY ONE HAS ALREADY FALLEN 
WITHIN THE PAST HOUR. A CONTINUED SLOW NORTHEAST MOVEMENT, WITH MORE 
RAIN FALL ON THE WAY, WILL ALLOW FOR ANOTHER INCH TO FALL OVER THE 
NEXT HOUR.

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.

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