THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY NJ HAS EXTENDED THE

* FLOOD WARNING FOR SMALL STREAMS IN...
  SOUTHEASTERN BERKS COUNTY IN EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA...
  WEST CENTRAL BUCKS COUNTY IN SOUTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA...
  SOUTHEASTERN LEHIGH COUNTY IN EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA...
  WESTERN MONTGOMERY COUNTY IN SOUTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA...
  NORTHERN CHESTER COUNTY IN SOUTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA...

* UNTIL 945 PM EDT

* AT 626 PM EDT THE PERKIOMEN CREEK IN EAST GREENVILLE HAD RETURNED
  INTO MINOR FLOOD. WHILE IT MAY SOON RECEDE...ANOTHER BAND OR TWO
  OF SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CROSS THIS PORTION OF
  SOUTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA THIS EVENING.  IT COULD FORCE OTHER SMALL
  CREEKS AND STREAMS INTO MINOR FLOOD THIS EVENING. 

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.
