The National Weather Service in Mount Holly, New Jersey, has issued a Flood Watch for multiple areas across New Jersey, Delaware, and Pennsylvania from midnight tonight through Sunday morning.
According to the National Weather Service, flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible across the region. The affected areas include portions of northern Delaware, including New Castle; several areas in New Jersey, such as Camden, Coastal Ocean, Eastern Monmouth, Gloucester, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Morris, Northwestern Burlington, Ocean, Salem, Somerset, Southeastern Burlington, and Western Monmouth; and southeast Pennsylvania, including Delaware, Eastern Montgomery, Lower Bucks, Philadelphia, Upper Bucks, and Western Montgomery.
Showers and thunderstorms are expected to move into the area around or shortly after midnight. These conditions will continue for several hours before tapering off by around mid to late morning on Sunday.
Some of these showers and thunderstorms will be capable of producing heavy rainfall. In the heaviest storms, as much as 1 to 2 inches of rain is possible within a short window of time.
The excessive runoff may result in the flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
