The National Weather Service in Mount Holly NJ has issued a

* Flash Flood Warning for...
  Berks County in eastern Pennsylvania...
  Northwestern Montgomery County in southeastern Pennsylvania...
  Central Chester County in southeastern Pennsylvania...

* Until 215 AM EDT.

* At 1014 PM EDT, Doppler radar and automated rain gauges indicated
  heavy rain falling across the warned area. Up to 1.5 inch of rain
  have already fallen. Flash flooding is expected to begin shortly
  in the areas of heaviest rain.

* Some locations that could experience flooding include...
  Reading, West Chester, Pottstown, Phoenixville, Coatesville,
  Wyomissing, Downingtown, Souderton, Birdsboro, Collegeville,
  Royersford, Fleetwood, Sinking Spring, Laureldale, Parkesburg,
  Trappe, East Greenville, Womelsdorf, Wernersville and Newmanstown.

Additional rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches are possible in
the warned area. Much of the area is still vulnerable to flooding
following the recent rounds of excessive rainfall over the past
several weeks. Therefore, it will not take much additional rainfall
to produce flash flooding.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Turn around...don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood
deaths occur in vehicles.

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

Stay away or be swept away. River banks and culverts can become
unstable and unsafe.
