* At 153 PM EST, National Weather Service Doppler Radar and
  automated rain gauges indicated that over two inches of rain had
  fallen across portions of the warned area the last 12 hours. With
  a layer of frozen ground, the water is having a hard time seeping
  into the soil. As a result, ponding on roadways and flooding of
  poor drainage areas is widespread and quick responding creeks and
  rivers are reaching or exceeding bankfull. The Pequest River at
  Pequest is above flood stage. The Little Lehigh is running high in
  Allentown as is Manocacy Creek in Bethlehem. Pohopoco Creek is
  running high in Kresgeville as is the Neshanic River in Reaville.
  The Lamington River is running high at Burnt Mills as is the
  Whippany river in Morristown. All of these rivers and creeks are
  within one foot of flooding. Besides the flooding in Pequest,
  additional flooding is likely this afternoon.

* Some locations that could experience flooding include...
  Allentown, Easton, Morristown, Newton, Bethlehem, Dover, Hopatcong,
  Forks, Emmaus, Northampton, East Stroudsburg, Hackettstown,
  Quakertown, Wilson, Bedminster, Wharton, Washington, Rockaway,
  Blairstown and Hellertown.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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

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