Special Weather Statement issued December 11 at 2:24PM EST by NWS Mount Holly NJ
A cold front is bringing rain to the region. In addition, isolated
thunderstorms this afternoon will produce gusty winds as well as
periods of heavier rain. The Storm Prediction Center has placed
eastern New Jersey and Southern Delaware in a Slight Risk. This
means the threat for severe weather is a level two out of five.
Strong winds are the biggest threat.
Besides the isolated thunderstorms, heavy rain is also expected.
Anywhere between one and three inches will fall through this evening.
Since it's been quite dry over the last two months, river flooding
is not expected. But because of snowmelt well to our north combined
with the rainfall, the mainstem Delaware River will see rises to
half to three-quarter bankful over the next couple of days. Other
mainstem rivers will also see rises, but no flooding is expected.
Urban areas are more immune to a lack of rain or drought. This said,
nuisance and poor drainage flooding can be expected across our urban
environments that experience the heaviest rains. More impactful
flash flooding is also possible, although chances are low.
