  Carbon County in northeastern Pennsylvania...
  Monroe County in northeastern Pennsylvania...
  Northern Northampton County in eastern Pennsylvania...

* At 709 PM EDT, Doppler radar indicated heavy rain moving across
  the area. One to two inches of rain has already fallen for some
  areas with earlier storms. Additional rain will be capable of
  producing up to an inch 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...

  Palmerton, Bangor, Jim Thorpe, Pen Argyl, Nesquehoning, Wind Gap,
  Belvidere, Weatherly, Oxford, Hope, Belfast, East Bangor,
  Stormville, Werry Lake and Pocono Pines.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.
