...THE FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 600 PM EDT FOR
SOUTHWESTERN WARREN...NORTH CENTRAL BUCKS AND SOUTHEASTERN
NORTHAMPTON COUNTIES...

At 540 PM EDT, Doppler radar indicated heavy rain due to
thunderstorms just in the southeast part of the advisory area near
Riegelsville. This will cause minor flooding in the advisory area.
Over two inches of rain fell at Forks.

Some locations that will experience flooding include...
Easton, Forks, Wilson, Harmony, Alpha, West Easton, Tatamy,
Riegelsville, Glendon, Roxburg, Old Orchard, Phillipsburg,
Stockertown and Palmer Heights.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.

Flooding is occurring or is imminent. 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.
