The National Weather Service in Mount Holly NJ has issued a

* Urban and Small Stream Flood Advisory for...
  Morris County in northern New Jersey...
  Sussex County in northwestern New Jersey...
  Warren County in northwestern New Jersey...
  Berks County in eastern Pennsylvania...
  Lehigh County in eastern Pennsylvania...
  Carbon County in northeastern Pennsylvania...
  Monroe County in northeastern Pennsylvania...
  Northampton County in eastern Pennsylvania...

* Until 330 AM EST.

* At 957 PM EST, Doppler radar indicated heavy rain moving from west
  to east across the area. Precipitation rates around one inch per
  hour have been reported in the heavier rain bands. Given the wet
  antecedent conditions from recent heavy rain in the area, runoff
  production is very efficient, resulting in rises on small streams
  and ponding of water in areas of poor drainage. An areal flood
  advisory has therefore been issued.

* Some locations that could experience flooding include...
  Allentown, Reading, Easton, Hazleton, Morristown, Port Jervis,
  Newton, Lehighton, Montague, Mount Pocono, Bethlehem, Dover,
  Madison, Hopatcong, Forks, Florham Park, Emmaus, East Hanover,
  Wyomissing and Kinnelon.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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

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