The National Weather Service in Mount Holly NJ has issued a

* Flood Advisory for... Atlantic County in southern New Jersey... Southeastern Cumberland County in southern New Jersey... Ocean County in southern New Jersey... Cape May County in southern New Jersey... Southeastern Burlington County in southern New Jersey... Eastern Monmouth County in central New Jersey...

* Until 330 PM EST.

* At 1136 AM EST, Doppler radar indicated moderate to heavy rain was falling across portions of the advised area. Up to one and one- half inches of rain have already fallen and more is on the way this afternoon.

Toms River, Atlantic City, Long Branch, Asbury Park, Ocean City, Cape May, Sandy Hook, Lakewood, Jackson, Howell, Barnegat, Pleasantville, Tinton Falls, Red Bank, Beachwood, Somers Point, Ventnor City, Brigantine, Northfield and Absecon. With a layer of frozen ground, the water will have a hard time seeping into the soil. As a result, ponding on roadways and flooding of poor drainage areas will become more widespread. In addition, tides are running higher than normal. Because of this, bayfront communities could see an increase in flooding until tides subside.

* AFFECTED AREAS: CUMBERLAND, NJ ... ATLANTIC, NJ ... MONMOUTH, NJ ... OCEAN, NJ ... BURLINGTON, NJ ... CAPE MAY, NJ

Instructions:

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