...THE FLOOD ADVISORY FOR MINOR FLOODING IN POOR DRAINAGE AREAS
REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 730 PM EDT FOR NORTHERN BERKS...LEHIGH...
CARBON...MONROE AND NORTHAMPTON COUNTIES...

At 434 PM EDT, Doppler radar indicated heavy rain due to
thunderstorms moving into the area from Schuylkill county. This
additional heavy rain will cause flooding on roadways and in areas
of poor drainage. Be careful driving during the afternoon commute
home.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause flooding of small
creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses as
well as other drainage areas and low lying spots.

It is important to know where you are relative to streams, rivers,
or creeks which can become killers in heavy rains. Campers and
hikers should avoid streams or creeks.

A Flood Advisory means river or stream flows are elevated, or ponding
of water in urban or other areas is occurring or is imminent.
