At 249 AM EDT, Doppler radar indicated heavy rain that will cause minor flooding in the advisory area. Moderate to locally heavy rain with rainfall rates of up to one inch per hour is moving through the advised area. This has a history of producing flash flooding, but the rain is not as intense as it was earlier. Motorists should exercise caution on area roads and watch for road closures. Some locations that could experience flooding include... Philadelphia, Wilmington, Newark, West Chester, Gloucester City, Calvert, Chester, Deptford, West Deptford, Glassboro, Lindenwold, Pennsville, Coatesville, Bellmawr, Yeadon, Westtown, Woodbury, Pitman, Clayton and Carneys Point. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Turn around...don`t drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles.

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