another area of heavy rain is lifting through the eastern shore of
Maryland and central Delaware, and will move into southwest New
Jersey and southeast Pennsylvania through the early morning hours.
Flash Flood Warnings are also in effect for parts of the advisory
area. Overflowing poor drainage areas will result in minor flooding
in the advisory area.

Some locations that could experience flooding include...
Allentown, Reading, Wilmington, Newark, Middletown, West Chester,
Elkton, Bethlehem, Norristown, Chester, Pottstown, Phoenixville,
Lansdale, West Norriton, East Norriton, Pennsville, Coatesville,

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.

Please report flooding to your local law enforcement agency when you
can do so safely.

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