254 PM EDT MON JUN 10 2013

...THE FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 500 PM EDT FOR
GLOUCESTER AND CAMDEN COUNTIES...

AT 249 PM EDT FLOODING MAY HAVE RECEDED IN MANY URBAN AREAS EARLY 
THIS AFTERNOON...BUT SOME LOCATIONS ALONG STREAMS AND RIVERS ARE 
STILL REPORTING FLOODING.  THAT INCLUDES THE COOPER RIVER IN 
HADDONFIELD WHICH IS SEVERAL INCHES ABOVE FLOOD STAGE. 

BATCHES OF FAST MOVING TORRENTIAL RAINS WITH ISOLATED EMBEDDED 
THUNDERSTORMS WILL RACE NORTHEASTWARD THROUGH THESE COUNTIES THE 
REMAINDER OF THIS AFTERNOON. 

THEREFORE...THE AREAL FLOODING WARNING CONTINUES FOR CAMDEN AND 
GLOUCESTER COUNTIES AS POCKETS OF RENEWED URBAN AND SMALL STREAM 
FLOODING MAY DEVELOP BY 5 OCLOCK.


A FLOOD WARNING MEANS THAT FLOODING IS IMMINENT OR HAS BEEN REPORTED.
STREAM RISES WILL BE SLOW AND FLASH FLOODING IS NOT EXPECTED.
HOWEVER...ALL INTERESTED PARTIES SHOULD TAKE NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS
IMMEDIATELY.

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.

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.
