- At 112 PM EDT, reports of minor street flooding have occurred
across the I95 urban corridor. The rainfall producing this
street flooding is generally less than one half an inch but
is resulting from several waves of rainfall that have
occurred through the day today and no ability for the runoff
to drain. The street flooding is not expected to be as life
threatening as the flooding that occurred this morning but
does pose a threat to property. Doppler radar indicated heavy
rain. Quick minor street flooding will be either ongoing or
could rise quickly as showers move through the warned area.
Between 1 and 4 inches of rain have fallen across the storm
total for today.
- Additional rainfall amounts up to 1 inch are possible in the
warned area.
- Some locations that may experience flooding include...
Philadelphia, Trenton, Camden, Bensalem, Ewing, Norristown,
Yeadon, Burlington, Bristol, Conshohocken, Palmyra and
Hatboro.
