...THE FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 300 AM EDT FOR
SUSSEX...WARREN...BERKS...LEHIGH...CARBON...MONROE AND NORTHAMPTON
COUNTIES...

At 1256 AM EDT, Doppler radar indicated heavy rain due to
thunderstorms across much of the advised area. This will cause minor
flooding in the advisory area. Up to one inch to two inches of rain
has already fallen in the last couple of hours with additional
rainfall occuring. Be alert for ponding and areas of water on
roadways and poor drainage areas.

Some locations that could experience flooding include...
Allentown, Reading, Easton, Newton, Lehighton, Mount Pocono,
Bethlehem, Hopatcong, Forks, Emmaus, Wyomissing, Northampton, East
Stroudsburg, Hackettstown, Tobyhanna, Bushkill, Wilson, Washington,
Blairstown and Hellertown.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the
dangers of flooding.

In hilly terrain there are hundreds of low water crossings which are
potentially dangerous in heavy rain. Do not attempt to cross flooded
roads. Find an alternate route.
