...THE FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 630 PM EDT FOR
MONTGOMERY COUNTY...

AT 417 PM EDT ANY EARLIER SMALL STREAM FLOODING HAD RECEDED BUT 
BANDS OF HEAVY SHOWERS AND ISOLATED EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS WILL 
PRODUCE STRETCHES OF POOR DRAINAGE STREET FLOODING BETWEEN NOW AND 6 
PM AND POSSIBLY RENEWED SMALL STREAM FLOODING BY 630 PM. 

BE PREPARED FOR A SLOW EVENING COMMUTE IN SOUTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA. 

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.
