THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY NJ HAS ISSUED AN

* URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOOD ADVISORY FOR...
  SOUTHERN HUNTERDON COUNTY IN NORTHWEST NEW JERSEY...
  MERCER COUNTY IN CENTRAL NEW JERSEY...
  SOMERSET COUNTY IN NORTHERN NEW JERSEY...
  MIDDLESEX COUNTY IN NORTHERN NEW JERSEY...

* UNTIL 945 PM EDT

* AT 652 PM EDT...SEVERAL AREAS OF RAIN WERE MOVING INTO CENTRAL AND 
NORTHERN NEW JERSEY FROM THE WEST. ALL THESE AREAS WERE MOVING TO 
THE NORTHEAST AT AROUND 20 MPH. DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED RAINFALL 
RATES OF ONE TO TWO INCHES PER HOUR WITH THIS PRECIPITATION. STREET 
FLOODING AND PONDING OF WATER IN AREAS OF POOR DRAINAGE CAN BE 
EXPECTED AS THIS RAIN MOVES THROUGH DURING THE EVENING HOURS.

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.
