The National Weather Service in Mount Holly NJ has issued a
* Flood Warning for Urban Areas and Small Streams in...
Northern New Castle County in northern Delaware...
Northwestern Camden County in southern New Jersey...
West central Burlington County in southern New Jersey...
Berks County in eastern Pennsylvania...
Montgomery County in southeastern Pennsylvania...
Lehigh County in eastern Pennsylvania...
Northwestern Bucks County in southeastern Pennsylvania...
Chester County in southeastern Pennsylvania...
Philadelphia County in southeastern Pennsylvania...
Delaware County in southeastern Pennsylvania...
* Until 630 PM EDT.
* At 1231 PM EDT, although the heavy rain has ended, numerous road
closures from ongoing flooding continues in southeastern
Pennsylvania and northern Delaware. Additionally, many gauges in
the area rivers and streams are still above flood stage with some
of the larger basins still rising in response to the excess runoff
from the heavy rain that fell this morning. Flooding will continue
this afternoon in some of the hardest hit areas.
* Some locations that could experience flooding include...
Philadelphia, Allentown, Reading, Camden, Wilmington, Newark, West
Chester, Gloucester City, Bethlehem, Norristown, Chester,
Pottstown, Phoenixville, Lansdale, West Norriton, East Norriton,
Coatesville, Yeadon, Emmaus and Westtown.
The heaviest rain fell just west of I-476 in northeast Delaware
County and western Montgomery County in southeastern Delaware where
radar and automated gauges indicate 4 to 6 inches of rain fell this
morning. Several areas in Chester and Berks County also received 2
to 4 inches of rain.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Turn around...don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood
deaths occur in vehicles.
Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause flooding of small
creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses as
well as other drainage areas and low lying spots.

The local office's own words before this areal flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly wrote its last area forecast discussion before this areal flood warning went out at Aug 13, 9:51 AM EDT, 2 hours 46 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 13, 9:51 AM EDT, 2 hours 46 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
951 AM EDT Mon Aug 13 2018
.SYNOPSIS...
A frontal boundary is expected to move little through Tuesday
as weak areas of low pressure ride along it. The boundary is
forecast to push farther off the coast on Wednesday. Low
pressure is anticipated to move across the Great Lakes and into
the northeastern states late in the week and it should pull a
cold front through our region on Friday night. The front may
begin to drift back to the north over the weekend.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
An area of showers with embedded thunderstorms continues to
slowly push northward through the region this morning.
Torrential rainfall is occurring with this cluster of storms and
flash flooding is occurring. Do not drive into flood waters!
Reports of 3 to 5 inches of rainfall have occurred with this
mornings rainfall and any additional rainfall in these areas
this afternoon/evening will lead to more flooding concerns.
Behind the mass of storms, there is some clearing occurring
which will only help to destabilize the atmosphere for this
afternoon.
Previous discussion...
Weather over the mid-Atlantic region will continue to be
influenced by an upper low now located near the SW corner of PA.
A trof axis appears to extend south from the low through the
western Carolinas. Otherwise the various smaller-scale features
rotating around the low are not very well defined. A band of
stronger convection has developed from the upper Chesapeake Bay
northward through the lower and middle Susquehanna Valley,
possibly in association with a developing upper-level jet streak
across that area. Individual storms are not moving much due to
weaker low-level winds, and so far they are mostly staying just
west of our forecast area, but will need to be watched closely.
With daytime heating and de-stabilization, convection is
expected to increase in coverage as we continue into the
afternoon. Given PWATs somewhat above normal, slow-moving storms
and wet antecedent conditions, the threat for localized
flooding is significant and the flash flood watch remains in
effect for areas generally along and NW of the I-95/I-295
corridor. Temperatures today should be similar to yesterday with
a very warm and humid air mass remaining over the area.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM TUESDAY/...
For tonight, the upper low is forecast to begin a slow NE
movement, but our area remains in S/SW flow aloft ahead of it.
Fairly widespread convection may be ongoing in the evening as
low pressure moves slowly NE along a frontal boundary across the
area. Convection should diminish through late evening and
overnight with loss of instability and likely also larger scale
UVV. However any storms lingering into the evening could still
produce heavy rains and flooding.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
After stalling near the PA-OH border for 24+ hours, the upper
low is forecast to lift NE toward the lower/mid-Hudson Valley
Tuesday (passing just to our N). At the surface, the same
stationary front parked over our area this weekend is expected
to remain either over eastern portions of our area (I-95/coastal
plain) or just offshore during this time. The exact position of
this front will depend on strength, timing and track of a weak
wave of low pressure that is forecast to track NE along the
boundary. Large-scale lift ahead of the upper low and downstream
upper level jet streak will keep showers and storms in our area
on Tuesday. The axis of heavy rainfall would most likely occur
along and just west of the surface front as convergence along
this boundary could help focus convective development. However,
less than ideal model agreement regarding the evolution of the
surface low and frontal boundary makes it difficult to fully
assess and provide details about the heavy rainfall potential
for the first period of the long term.
A brief respite from this extended unsettled/wet weather
pattern that we are currently in is expected in wake of the
upper trough passage Tuesday night through Thursday morning. The
next upper shortwave trough and surface low is expected to move
E-NE across the Midwest-Great Lakes regions late in the week
and then through the Northeast states next weekend. Chances for
showers and storms return to the forecast from late Thursday
through Sunday as we remain under the influence of this
disturbance. Greater convective coverage seems possible on
Friday given the timing of the synoptic cold front.
Highs each day will generally be in the mid 80s which is near
normal for mid August. The exception will be Thursday and
Friday, with highs in the upper 80s and lower 90s as pre-frontal
warm sector becomes established in the Mid Atlantic.
&&
.AVIATION /14Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG,
KILG, KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.
This morning...SHowers and thunderstorms with very heavy
rainfall continue to move through the area this morning. A
gradual end from south to north will occur through late
morning/early afternoon. Conditions are improving to VFR behind
the main cluster of storms with some IFR/MVFR conditions mainly
towards KMIV/KACY. Expect all terminals to become VFR by this
afternoon. Winds are generally out of the east/northeast but in
and around the storms a shift to eh west/northwest is noted.
Winds will briefly turn W/NW before becoming light out of the N
then E/NE by this afternoon.
This afternoon...Showers and t-storms will become more
widespread during the day resulting in locally reduced CIGs and
VSBYs. Winds will be easterly but under 10 kt.
Tonight...Mainly VFR conditions are expected with light and
variable winds. Showers and t-storms may continue into the
evening with locally reduced CIGs and/or VSBYs.
OUTLOOK...
Tuesday and Tuesday evening...Variable conditions with showers
likely along with scattered thunderstorms. The rain may be heavy
at times. Southwest to west wind less than 10 knots.
Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning...Some visibility
restrictions are possible in fog and haze. West wind less than
10 knots.
Late Wednesday morning and Wednesday afternoon......Mainly VFR.

.MARINE...
Sub-SCA conditions should continue through tonight. Winds today
will veer around from ENE to S as low pressure moves NE along a
frontal boundary, then becoming SW tonight. Wave heights will
be generally 3 to 4 feet with a southerly swell.
OUTLOOK...
Tuesday through Friday...No marine headlines are anticipated.
RIP CURRENTS...
There is a low risk for the development of dangerous rip
currents today.
The wind is forecast to be from the southwest and south on
Tuesday around 10 MPH. Wave heights should be 2 to 3 feet on the
waters off New Jersey and Delaware with a medium period swell.
As a result, we are anticipating a low risk for the development
of dangerous rip currents at that time.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
In addition to any heavy rain that falls, we are expecting
spotty minor coastal flooding with this evening's high tide. It
will be due mainly to the high astronomical tides associated
with the new moon. However, the flooding due to the tides is not
anticipated to be widespread enough to warrant another Coastal
Flood Advisory.
