...THE URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL

330 AM EDT FOR PASSAIC...ORANGE...WESTERN PUTNAM AND ROCKLAND

COUNTIES...



At 146 AM EDT, Doppler radar indicated heavy rain due to showers and 

embedded thunderstorms. This will cause urban and small stream 

flooding in the advisory area. Radar estimates indicate up to near 

two inches of rain have already fallen in some areas. Heavy rain 

will continue before 330 AM.



Some locations that will experience flooding include...

Newburgh, Middletown, West Milford, Beacon, Ringwood, Suffern, Port

Jervis, Monroe, Walden, West Point, Warwick, Goshen, Sloatsburg, Cold

Spring and Howells.



PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...



Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood

deaths occur in vehicles.



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, country roads, farmland, and other low lying

spots.



A Flood Advisory means river or stream flows are elevated, or ponding

of water in urban or other areas is occurring or is imminent.
