...THE FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 730 PM EDT FOR URBAN
AREAS AND SMALL STREAMS IN NORTHERN OCEAN...MONMOUTH...NORTHERN
BURLINGTON AND SOUTHEASTERN MERCER COUNTIES...

AT 257 PM EDT BANDS OF SHOWERS WITH ISOLATED EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS 
CONTINUE RACING NORTHEAST FROM DELAWARE.   

THE SLOW RESPONDING TOMS RIVER IN TOMS RIVER NEW JERSEY WAS JUST 
SEVERAL INCHES BELOW FLOOD STAGE DURING MID AFTERNOON.

HIGHWAY AND SMALL STREAM FLOODING WITH ASSOCIATED ROAD CLOSURES FROM 
EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON MAY BE IN RECESSION HOWEVER...
POCKETS OF ROAD CLOSURES AND SMALL STREAM FLOODING MAY REDEVELOP 
DURING THE EVENING RUSH HOUR. 


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.

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.
