At 1232 AM EDT, Doppler radar indicated moderate to heavy rain
continuing across the warned area. Up to three to four inches of
rain have already fallen across the area. Several rivers are
flooding, including Monocacy Creek near Bethlehem, Perkiomen Creek
near East Greenville and Hillegass as well as West Branch Brandywine
Creek near Honey Brook. Many other creeks and streams are rising.

Some locations that could experience flooding include...
Allentown, Reading, Easton, Bethlehem, Pottstown, Phoenixville,
Forks, Coatesville, Emmaus, Wyomissing, Northampton, Quakertown,
Perkasie, Wilson, Downingtown, Souderton, Washington, Hellertown,

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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

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.

A Flood Warning means that flooding is imminent or occurring. All
interested parties should take necessary precautions immediately.
