1041 PM EDT FRI SEP 7 2018
The National Weather Service in Mount Holly NJ has issued a
* Flood Warning for...
Northwestern Camden County in southern New Jersey...
Northwestern Gloucester County in southern New Jersey...
Southwestern Philadelphia County in southeastern Pennsylvania...
Southeastern Delaware County in southeastern Pennsylvania...
* Until 245 AM EDT.
* At 1038 PM EDT, the heavy rain that resulted in flash flooding
across the Philadelphia metropolitan area has ended, and the
threat for flash flooding is over. However, lingering flooding
continues, and many roads continue to be closed. Up to 5 inches of
rain fell earlier this evening, and this resulted in flooding
across the area. Therefore, the Flash Flood Warning is now an
Areal Flood Warning.
* Some locations that could experience flooding include...
Philadelphia, Camden, Gloucester City, Cherry Hill, Deptford, West
Deptford, Bellmawr, Yeadon, Woodbury, Palmyra, Folcroft, Paulsboro,
Magnolia, Westville, Woodbury Heights, National Park, East
Lansdowne, Brooklawn, Audubon Park and Darby Township.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Turn around...don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood
deaths occur in vehicles.
Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the
dangers of flooding.
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.
Please report flooding to your local law enforcement agency when you
can do so safely.
A Flood Warning means that flooding is imminent or occurring. All
interested parties should take necessary precautions immediately.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 7, 9:34 PM EDT, 1 hour 7 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
934 PM EDT Fri Sep 7 2018
.SYNOPSIS...
A front will stall to our south over the weekend, as high
pressure builds out of southern Canada and into northern New
England by Sunday. This front is expected to lift back northward
Monday as the remnant low of Gordon pass across the Great Lakes
region. A cold front may move into the area on Tuesday as this
low moves across northern New England. There remains uncertainty
on the track and potential impacts of Florence for the Mid
Atlantic and northeast states for the second half of next week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
Heavy showers and thunderstorms with flash flooding abound the
metro Philadelphia area this evening. The rainfall total at KPHL
is now over 4.25 inches for the day ! Numerous reports of
flooding/flash flooding around the region. Earlier today, Cape
May county NJ and Sussex/Kent counties of Delaware also had
locally excessive precipitation.
Regional radars show that the activity across srn NJ is slowly
diminishing and moving E while a pocket in SW NJ remains fairly
active. More showers moving E from MD will affect Delmarva and
srn NJ through the early overnight. Pops generally left at
likely for most areas and will taper down after midnight. No
pops for low chc pops for the far north.
Not many changes made/needed to winds or temps.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...
To start the day, cold frontal boundary will be continuing to
get suppressed to our south as high pressure builds S/E through
Ontario and Quebec. Expect that some rain/showers will be
ongoing into the morning from around the I-76 corridor
southward. Beyond this point, trend should should be for this to
generally diminish north to south though some uncertainty
exists on how quickly this occurs. NAM keeps rain/showers in
much of the day while GEM Regional (at the opposite extreme)is
forecasting a mainly dry day. Stayed close to a middle ground
between these extremes. In any event, much cooler, drier and
more stable air will be filtering in so threat for thunder and
heavy rainfall will be low. Otherwise, the day should be mostly
cloudy with cool NE breezes and much lower dew points. Expect
highs in the low to mid 70s except mid to upper 60s over the
southern Poconos.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
An active period continues to be expected to continue for the
end of the weekend into early next week with periods of heavy
rainfall possible.
For Saturday night through Sunday night, high pressure will
continue pushing across southeast Canada and northern New
England, but lose its effect on our area. This will allow
moisture to lift into our area, north of the frontal boundary
that remains south of our area. Multiple short wave/vorticity
impulses will be moving across our area within the west-
southwest flow aloft, which will lead to enhanced lift across
the area. PW values will increase again to 1.75- 2.00 inches
during this time as well. So we expect rainfall to increase in
coverage Saturday night, most likely across the southern half of
the area, from the Philadelphia metro areas southward. Then
begin to spread northward Sunday into Sunday night affecting
much of the rest of the area. Period of moderate to heavy
rainfall are possible during this time as well.
The remnants of Gordon are forecast to move into the Great
Lakes region on Monday, which will lift the front to our south
across our area as a warm front. The low will then track across
northern New England Monday night into Tuesday, which may then
bring a cold front into our area. Showers and thunderstorms will
remain likely into early next week as these frontal boundaries
affect the area and additional short wave/vorticity impulses
move across the area.
This front may wash out or stall as it moves into our area by
Wednesday. If the front stalls out across or near our area,
showers and thunderstorms could continue to develop again on
Wednesday across portions of the area as additional short
wave/vorticity impulses affect the region, especially eastern
Pennsylvania and northern New Jersey.
The attention for the end of the period turns to Florence and
its possible effects for the east coast. The latest track from
the NHC brings Florence into the western Atlantic by Wednesday.
At that point, there is still uncertainty with the eventual
track of Florence. The risk for impacts along the east coast has
increased. However, the uncertainty with the model guidance
this far out makes it difficult to determine the exact location,
magnitude, and timing of these impacts our region will have. At
this point, there is the potential for a period of heavy rain
and strong winds by the end of next week unless the storm takes
a turn out to sea, which still remains a possibility. At this
time and through the weekend, continue to monitor the forecasts
from the NHC on the track of Florence and begin thinking of
possible preparations in case our area does have an impact from
the storm.
One effect regardless of Florence's track will be in increase
in wave action and large swells along the ocean front, which
will lead to increased rip current risk and possible coastal
flooding.
&&
.AVIATION /01Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
The following discussion is for KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY and surrounding areas.
Tonight: Mostly MVFR with some psbl IFR at times with lower CIGS
especially across Delmarva and srn NJ/PA. Winds generally NE at
speeds of 4-8 knots or less except possibly higher in storms.
Moderate Confidence.
Saturday: Mainly MVFR to start the day with gradual improvement
to VFR from north to south but likely only as far south as KPHL
by late day. NE winds 5-10 knots with higher gusts.
OUTLOOK...
Saturday night...VFR possible early, lowering to MVFR overnight
with increasing chance of showers. Easterly winds may gust
15-20 knots.
Sunday-Monday...MVFR, possibly IFR conditions, with periods of
rain. Isolated thunderstorms possible as well. Some rain may be
moderate to heavy at time. Northeast to east winds could gust
20-25 knots, then become southeast by Monday.
Monday night-Wednesday...Conditions may vary between VFR and
MVFR through the period with a chance of showers and
thunderstorms. Winds vary between southeast to south around 5-10
knots.
&&
.MARINE...
Winds/seas will be below advisory criteria through tonight.
However, northeast winds will gradually increase through the
period, with speeds of 10 to 20 kts by the overnight (somewhat
lighter on Delaware Bay). Seas will be building as well,
gradually becoming 3 to 4 feet on the Atlantic waters (waves 2
to 3 feet on Delaware Bay).
A chance of showers and storms exists and this could bring
locally higher winds and seas...especially through this evening.
Saturday...Winds/seas continue to ramp up with SCA conditions
expected. Generally expect northeast winds increasing to 20-25
knots with gusts up to 30 knots and seas increasing to 5 to 8
feet over the ocean waters.
OUTLOOK...
Saturday night...Small Craft Advisory conditions remain across
the waters with gusts 25-30 knots and seas building to 5-8 feet.
Sunday-Sunday night...Gale Force wind gusts of 35-40 knots
possible. Gale Watch in effect.
Monday...Conditions likely to lower to Small Craft Advisory
levels with gusts 25-30 knots lowering during the day and seas
around 5-7 feet remaining.
Monday night-Wednesday...Winds may remain below advisory
levels, however, long period swells from Florence are likely to
reach the waters, leading to 6-9 feet.
RIP CURRENTS...
An enhanced risk of rip currents is expected to continue for
the weekend through next week. First associated with the east-
northeast flow around the high to our north, then with building
seas and swells associated with Florence as it approaches the
western Atlantic.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
The astronomical tides associated with the new moon in June,
July and August were particularly high this year. The same is
true with September's new moon which occurs on Sunday.
The high astronomical tides along with a developing onshore
flow will result in some tidal flooding over the next few days
in coastal areas of New Jersey and Delaware, and up along
Delaware Bay and the tidal Delaware River. The evening high
tides will be higher than those in the morning.
We are anticipating only spotty minor flooding with this
evening's high tide, not enough to warrant the issuance of an
advisory at this time.
The northeast wind is expected to strengthen on Saturday and
that should lead to a more widespread minor flooding event with
Saturday evening's high tide. We may very well issue an advisory
for that period of time.
The northeast wind is forecast to increase even more for Sunday
with gale force gusts anticipated. Spotty minor flooding is
expected with Sunday morning's high tide. The evening high tide
on Sunday should produce the most flooding, with widespread
minor flooding in coastal areas of New Jersey and Delaware, and
up along Delaware Bay and the tidal Delaware River. Some
locations should experience moderate flooding.
The onshore flow is expected to begin easing early in the new
week. However, residual minor flooding is likely at least into
Monday night.
&&
.EQUIPMENT...
The KDOX radar remains inoperable. Water damage to the radar
transmitter and product generator is still being assessed. Due
to the unknown extent of the damage, there is no estimated time
for the radar's return to service.
&&
.PHI WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

At this point, there is the potential for a period of heavy rain and strong winds by the end of next week unless the storm takes a turn out to sea, which still remains a possibility. At this time and through the weekend, continue to monitor the forecasts from the NHC on the track of Florence and begin thinking of possible preparations in case our area does have an impact from the storm. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Weather spotters are encouraged to report significant weather conditions according to standard operating procedures.
