The National Weather Service in Mount Holly NJ has issued a

* Flood Advisory for...
  Berks County in eastern Pennsylvania...
  Northwestern Montgomery County in southeastern Pennsylvania...
  North central Chester County in southeastern Pennsylvania...

* Until 300 AM EDT.

* At 1057 PM EDT, Doppler radar indicated heavy rain due to
  thunderstorms. Over one inch of rain has already fallen in a short
  amount of time for some areas. This will cause flooding in the
  advisory area, especially in urban and poor drainage areas.

* Some locations that could experience flooding include...
  Reading, Pottstown, Wyomissing, Birdsboro, Royersford, Fleetwood,
  Sinking Spring, Laureldale, East Greenville, Womelsdorf,
  Wernersville, Newmanstown, Leesport, Elverson, Bally, Bernville,
  Bechtelsville, Green Lane, Strausstown and New Morgan.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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

Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause flooding of small
creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses as
well as other drainage areas and low lying spots.

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