Areal Flood Advisory
Statement as of 1:24 PM EST on January 7, 2009

... The urban and small stream flood advisory remains in effect until
430 PM EST for Bucks... southern Berks... Montgomery... Chester...
northern Middlesex... northwestern Mercer... Somerset... Hunterdon and
southeastern Morris counties...

At 117 PM EST... all of the precipitation in the advised area had
turned to all rain. Surface observations indicated that up to one
and one-half inches of precipitation have fallen across the advised
area. Another quarter inch of rain is possible this afternoon.
Because the ground is nearly frozen, runoff has been very efficient
thus far today and will continue to be through the remainder of the
afternoon.

A flood advisory means that although streams and creeks may be
elevated or even rise out of their banks, property damage will be
minimal. Inconveniences can be expected but the flooding will not be
immediately life threatening. A flood advisory also means that
ponding of water in urban and poor drainage areas will occur.
