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

At 513 PM EDT, Doppler radar indicated very heavy rain due to
thunderstorms in northern Berks County with widespread moderate rain
in other parts of the advisory area. This rain is expected to
continue into the early evening hours...so the threat for roadway
and poor drainage flooding continues. In addition, some small
streams in the pockets of heaviest rain could spill over their
banks.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause flooding of small
creeks, 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 stream flows are elevated, or ponding of
water in urban or other areas is occurring or is imminent.
