...A FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 830 PM EDT FOR
NORTHWESTERN OCEAN AND MONMOUTH COUNTIES...

AT 631 PM EDT...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED THE 
HEAVY RAIN THAT WAS CONCENTRATED OVER THE BORDER BETWEEN MONMOUTH 
AND OCEAN COUNTIES HAS LIFTED FURTHER NORTH INTO MONMOUTH COUNTY. 
HOWEVER...FLOODING CONTINUES IN BOTH COUNTIES...SO THE FLASH FLOOD 
WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT. MORE THAN FOUR INCHES OF RAIN WAS 
REPORTED IN SOME LOCATIONS.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.

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 SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 800 PM EDT MONDAY
EVENING FOR DELAWARE AND NORTHEASTERN MARYLAND AND NEW JERSEY AND
EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA.
