...THE FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 115 AM EDT FOR SOUTHERN
CHESTER...NORTHEASTERN CECIL AND NORTHERN NEW CASTLE COUNTIES...

AT 1222 AM EDT, NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED THE 
HEAVIEST SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE IN NORTHERN NEW CASTLE 
COUNTY. THIS HAS PRODUCED AROUND AN INCH OF RAIN AT THE WILMINGTON 
AIRPORT WITHIN ABOUT 30 MINUTES. THIS AMOUNT OF RAIN WILL RESULT IN 
SOME FLOODING ON ROADWAYS AND IN AREAS OF POOR DRAINAGE. THE 
VISIBILITIES WILL ALSO BE SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED DURING THE DOWNPOURS.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.

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.
