Special Weather Statement issued July 12 at 8:18AM EDT by NWS Mount Holly NJ
A stationary front will plague the region into Saturday with
several waves of heavy showers and thunderstorms expected. The
overall threat for severe weather is low, but heavy rain could
cause some localized flash flooding, especially in urbanized
areas.
A Flood Watch has been issued for the Eastern Shore of Maryland,
up through the I-95 corridor, and into northern New Jersey.
Although it has been hot and dry across much of the forecast area,
the flood threat through tomorrow will come from slow moving storms
and the redevelopment of storms over the same area.
Mainstem river flooding is not expected, but smaller and quicker
responding streams could leave their banks.
By the time the rain ends tomorrow, there are signals suggesting
that localized rainfall amounts near 5.00 inches could occur.
If you're on the road and come across flooding, turn around. Most
flooding injuries and fatalities occur in vehicles. Move to higher
ground.
