Areal Flood Advisory
Issued by the National Weather Service at 9:23 am EST on January 7, 2009


The National Weather Service in Upton NY has issued an

* urban flood advisory for...
Hudson County in northeast New Jersey...
Bergen County in northeast New Jersey...
Essex County in northeast New Jersey...
Union County in northeast New Jersey...
Bronx County in southeast New York...
New York (manhattan) County in southeast New York...
Kings (brooklyn) County in southeast New York...
Richmond (staten island) County in southeast New York...
Passaic County in northeast New Jersey...
Suffolk County in southeast New York...
Nassau County in southeast New York...
Queens County in southeast New York...

* until 1115 am EST...

* at 923 am EST... moderate to heavy rain will move across the
advisory area through early this afternoon. The combination of
melting snow in some spots and frozen ground will contribute to
significant runoff. This will result in flooding of the typical poor
drainage areas... highways... streets and underpasses as well as other
low lying spots.

Do not drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the
roadway. Most flooding deaths occur in automobiles. Turn around and
find another Route.

Be prepared to take action if the flooding threat increases... or a
warning is issued.
