What happened

The episode as NWS PHI wrote it up.

For the second time within a week heavy rain fell across New Jersey, especially the northern half. An additional 2 to 5 inches of precipitation fell and caused continued flooding in the Passaic Basin and renewed flooding on the Delaware and Raritan Rivers. Snowmelt in the upper reaches of the Delaware Basin contributed to the flooding. Major flooding occurred within the Passaic Basin, mostly minor flooding occurred on the Delaware River and in the Raritan Basin. Governor Chris Christie declared a state of emergency before the start of the second round of heavy rain on March 9th. Throughout the state, 683 dwellings were affected by both flooding events and 207 suffered at least major damage. The second round of rain started during the early morning of the 10th, fell heavy at times during the daylight hours and evening on the 10th and ended between 4 a.m. and 8 a.m. EST on the morning on the 11th. Eastern Daylight Time started on the morning of the 13th. Some of the rivers began flooding during Eastern Standard Time and receded after Eastern Daylight Time began.

South of Trenton on the Delaware River, the combination of the up the Delaware Bay and River wind flow and freshwater runoff produced minor tidal flooding along the river and tidal sections of its tributaries during the late afternoon high tide cycle on the 10th and the early morning high tide cycle on the 11th. The highest tide occurred on the 11th and reached 8.93 feet above mean lower low water in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Minor tidal flooding starts at 8.20 feet above mean lower low water.

The heavy rain was caused by a low pressure system that moved from the Southern Plains on the morning of the 8th northeast into Iowa on the morning of the 9th, Michigan on the morning of the 10th and into the eastern Great Lakes by the morning of the 11th. This system was able to tap moisture from both the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean and lift it over its frontal boundaries. The deep southeast flow was able to enhance the precipitation further over the higher terrain of northwest New Jersey. The rain ended once the low's occluded front moved through New Jersey.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before the first event, 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 the first event at Mar 10, 5:57 PM EST, 29 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 10, 5:57 PM EST, 29 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
557 PM EST THU MAR 10 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OVER WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND ANOTHER OVER VIRGINIA
WILL MOVE NORTHEASTWARD THROUGH TONIGHT AND BRING A COLD FRONT
ACROSS THE AREA TOWARD MORNING. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL CROSS THE
AREA FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. AN ALBERTA CLIPPER LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM IS THEN FORECAST TO PASS JUST NORTH OF OUR REGION AND BRING
ANOTHER COLD FRONT ACROSS ON SATURDAY. A HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM
WILL THEN BUILD IN FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
PNS POSTED FOR A SAMPLING OF HIGHEST WIND AND HEAVIEST RAIN AS OF
550 PM. REPORT IS BY NO MEANS COMPLETE. ...JUST A SAMPLING.

WIND ADVISORY POSTED AROUND 5 PM. ISOLATED SUSTAINED 27 KT AND TREES
DOWN. CAUSE OF TREES DOWN UNKNOWN BUT SATURATED GROUND CAN CONTRIBUTE
TO LOWER WIND THRESHOLD TREE FALL. HAD A GUST TO 40 KNOTS AT WILMINGTON
DEL NEAR 5 PM. WORST OF THE WIND BETWEEN NOW AND 8 OR 9 PM. MAX
PRES FALLS STILL BACK IN N CENTRAL VA AT 22Z OF ALMOST 5 MB.

LATEST RADAR IMAGERY IS COVERED WITH ECHOES, MAINLY OVER PA,
PORTIONS OF NJ AND MD, BUT THERE IS MORE RAIN DEVELOPING TO THE
SW OVER MD AND VA THAT WILL MOVE THROUGH LATER. ADDITIONALLY,
THERE MAY BE SOME THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT OVER CENTRAL VA AND THE
REMNANTS OF THOSE STORMS WILL HAVE TO MOVE THROUGH AS WELL. SO,
OVERALL, THINGS STILL LOOK WET.

ALL OF THE MDL DATA REMAINS IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT THAT THE WORST
IS YET TO COME, AND IT WILL LIKELY BE IN THE TIME PERIOD
11/00Z-11/06Z. SO, THE FLOOD WATCH WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT
UNCHANGED. IT IS ALSO STILL PSBL THAT THERE COULD BE AN ISOLD
TSTM, ESPECIALLY OVER SRN AND ERN SECTIONS, AND OF COURSE, ANY
CONVECTION WILL ONLY ENHANCE RAINFALL AMTS.

RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 3 INCHES WILL BE WIDESPREAD ESPECIALLY
FROM THE I-95 CORRIDOR N AND W. WITH ISO 4-4.5 NE PA AND N 1/4 NJ.
THESE AMOUNTS WILL PRODUCE MINOR TO MAJOR FLOODING ON THE
MAJORITY OF OUR WATERWAYS.

THE RAIN WILL BEGIN TO TAPER OFF LATER TONIGHT AND SHOULD END FROM
SOUTH TO NORTH BY DAYBREAK AFTER A COLD FRONT PASSES THROUGH THE
REGION. HOWEVER, THE FLOODING WILL CONTINUE THROUGH FRIDAY AND
INTO THE WEEKEND ON SOME OF OUR SLOWER REACTING RIVERS AND
STREAMS.

SE TO E WINDS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL FROPA AND WILL REMAIN QUITE
GUSTY, WITH SPEEDS PSBLY AS HIGH AS 35-40 MPH OVER SRN AND ERN
AREAS THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE RAIN WILL CONTINUE TO WIND DOWN ERLY IN THE PD, WITH MOST OF
THE MDLS IN AGREEMENT THAT ITS OVER EVERYWHERE BY 11/18Z, IF NOT
SOONER. THE REST OF FRIDAY THEN LOOKS DRY WITH TEMPS IN THE 50S.
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE SOUTH ON SATURDAY, AS A
WEAK IMPULSE ROTATES THROUGH THE UPR LOW AND BRINGS A CLIPPER TYPE
SYSTEM THROUGH BUT AFFECTS AREAS MAINLY TO OUR N. HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS MORE STRONGLY IN FOR SUNDAY. TEMPS WILL BE MAINLY IN THE
20S AND 30S SATURDAY NIGHT BUT WILL REBOUND QUITE NICELY INTO THE
50S ON SUNDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
MUCH OF THE FIRST HALF OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD WILL HAVE FAIR WEATHER
ACROSS THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC REGION AS WE WILL BE BETWEEN SYSTEMS. ONE
LOW WILL BE MOVING OFF EASTERN CANADA WHILE A WAVE MOVES ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST STATES MON AND INTO THE ATLANTIC TUE. A RIDGE BETWEEN THESE
SYSTEMS WILL KEEP BASICALLY DRY WEATHER FOR OUR AREA. TEMPERATURES
WILL BE NEAR NORMAL OR JUST SLIGHTLY BELOW WITH A NRLY FLOW FROM
CANADA PREVAILING EARLY NEXT WEEK. HIGHS MON AND TUE WILL BE IN THE
LOW 40S ACROSS THE NORTH AND MID TO UPPER 40S OVER THE DELMARVA AND
METRO PHILADELPHIA.

A PROGRESSIVE SHORT WAVE WHICH WILL MOVE ALONG THE U.S.-CANADA
BORDER NEXT WEEK WILL ARRIVE OVER OUR AREA WED AND PERSIST INTO THU.
IT WILL BRING THE POSSIBILITY FOR SOME SHOWERS AND MILDER TEMPS. THE
HPC GRAPHICS...WHICH FAVOR THE TIMING OF THE 00Z ECMWF...WAS USED
FOR THE SYSTEM. HIGHS ACROSS THE DELMARVA AND PHILADELPHIA WILL BE
IN THE LOW 50S WED AND UPPER 50S THU...READINGS WILL BE 5 OR SO
DEGREES LESS ACROSS THE NRN AREAS.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG,
KILG, KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.

REST OF TODAY...CONDS MVFR VARIABLE IFR IN SHOWERS VARYING INTENSITY
FROM LIGHT TO HEAVY. GUSTY ESE WINDS RANGING FROM NEAR 20 KNOTS VCNTY
KRDG KABE TO BETWEEN 33 AND 38 KNOTS ELSEWHERE. INCREASING LLWS
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON BETWEEN 500 AND 2000 FT.

TONIGHT...IFR VARIABLE LIFR BAND OF INTENSE SHOWERS WITH EMBEDDED
THUNDER IS EXPECTED ALONG WITH LLWS OF 55 TO 65 KTS AS 5MB 3 PM SFC
PRES FALLS AHEAD OF LOW PRES MOVING NNE INTO CENTRAL PA SWEEPS ITS
COOL FRONT EAST AND CONCENTRATES RAIN IN A 3-6 HR WIDE BAND AHD OF
THE FRONT. WE MAY NEED TO ADD CB TO THE FCST FOR FOR SOME OF THE
TAF SITES...ESPECIALLY KPHL S AND E IN THE 23Z-04Z TIME FRAME.
SURFACE GUSTS IN THE PHL/ILG SEWD SHOULD BRIEFLY REACH 40 KNOTS.

AFTER 05Z...HEAVY SHOWERS AND LLWS TRANSLATE SLOWLY NEWD OF OUR
TAF SITES AND ABATE BY 09Z LEAVING IFR OR LIFR IN FOG/STRATUS AND
VIRTUALLY NO WIND BY 10Z FRIDAY.

OUTLOOK...
FRIDAY...IFR CONDITIONS IMPROVE TO VFR CIGS BETWEEN 14Z AND 16Z.
SW WIND GUSTS 15 TO 20 KNOTS MIDDAY.

FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD CONTINUE (WITH
A BRIEF PERIOD OF MVFR CEILINGS POSSIBLE AT KRDG AND KABE) AHEAD
WHAT SHOULD BE A DRY COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE LATE SATURDAY NIGHT OR
SUNDAY MORNING. SW GUSTS DURING THE MIDDAY HOURS SATURDAY TO 25
KNOTS.

SUNDAY...BEHIND THE FRONT...VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD CONTINUE...WITH
WIND GUSTS TO 25 KNOTS FROM THE WEST AND NORTHWEST..

&&

.MARINE...
GALE CONTINUED.

A FEW GALE GUSTS OF 37-40KTS OCCURING AT 22Z FROM CHES LIGHT TO
DEL BAY.

BEST CHANCE OF FREQUENT GALE FORCE GUSTS WOULD BE THE LATE AFTERNOON
THROUGH 0600 UTC FRIDAY (DURING THE TIME OF BEST MIXING UNDER THE
LOW INVERSION AND GRADIENT) ALONG THE WARMEST NEAR SHORE WATERS.

CONVECTIVE BURST IN DELAWARE AROUND 7 PM MAY CONTRIBUTE TO HIGHER
GUSTS THIS EVENING. WATCH THE ADVANCE OF THE LIGHTNING OUT OF
VIRGINIA LATE TODAY.

AFTER 0600 UTC...THE GRADIENT STARTS TO BACK OFF A BIT AHEAD OF
THE COLD/OCCLUDED FRONT).

WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE FRONT...WIND WILL BECOME SOUTHWEST AND DROP
OFF CONSIDERABLY FOR A TIME FRIDAY MORNING (PERHAPS EVEN BELOW SMALL
CRAFT LEVELS). THIS MAY TEND TO INCREASE AGAIN AS THE GRADIENT TRIES
TO TIGHTEN IN THE AFTERNOON. EVEN IF WINDS DO NOT GET BACK TO SMALL
CRAFT LEVELS FRIDAY...SEAS WILL REMAIN WELL ABOVE 5 FEET ON THE
OCEAN WATERS THROUGHOUT THE DAY...AS THE SWELL SLOWLY SORTS ITSELF
OUT.

THE GRADIENT SHOULD INCREASE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY AHEAD OF THE
NEXT COLD FRONT. GUSTS SHOULD GET INTO THE SMALL CRAFT RANGE DURING
FRIDAY NIGHT AND LAST INTO SATURDAY NIGHT. SEAS MAY HAVE A HARD TIME
GETTING BELOW 5 FEET ON THE OCEAN BEFORE INCREASING AGAIN IN THE
SOUTHWEST FETCH AHEAD OF THE FRONT.

THE PASSAGE OF THE DRY COLD FRONT SHOULD OCCUR EARLY SUNDAY MORNING.
BEHIND THE FRONT...THE GRADIENT AND MIXING IN THE COLD AIR ADVECTION
SHOULD SUPPORT SMALL CRAFT WIND GUSTS...ESPECIALLY ON THE OCEAN
WATERS...FOR MUCH OF SUNDAY. AFTER THE PASSAGE OF THE FRONT...STRONG
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS EASTERN CANADA AND RIDGE DOWN THE
COAST...BRINGING SUB ADVISORY CONDITIONS FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
FLW OUT FOR MOST VULNERABLE AREA THROUGH 430 AM. A NUMBER OF SMALL
STREAMS RAPIDLY APPROACHING BANKFULL FROM FAR N DEL INTO SE PA.
WE'LL EXPAND WARNINGS AND GO WITH MORE SERIOUS MAIN-STEM WARNINGS
AS IT BECOMES OBVIOUS.

RER RAIN NOW AT KABE AND POSSIBLY HEADING FOR ALL TIME MARCH DAILY
RECORD AT KABE...NEEDING JUST 1.7 INCHES BETWEEN NOW AND MIDNIGHT
FOR THE 3 INCH MARK THERE.

AS OF 430 PM...

WALNUTPORT PA UP TO 2.20 INCHES LANDINGVILLE PA 2.01 INCHES. STORM
TOTALS COULD REACH 4 OR 4.5 INCHES THERE AND IN NNJ.

WE ARE MAINLY GOING WITH 2.00 TO 3.00 INCHES ELSEWHERE ACROSS THE
REGION EXCEPT WE EXPECT NEAR 4 INCHES IN PARTS OF NE PA N OF KABE
AND IN N 1/4 NJ ALONG AND N OF INTERSTATE 78. WE'RE LOOKING AT A
SIGNIFICANT FLOOD EVENT...PROBABLY MORE EXTENSIVE THAN THE
FLOODING OF LAST MARCH 2010.

IN PENNSYLVANIA....

LEHIGH BASIN - CAUTION STAGE TO MINOR FLOODING
SCHUYLKILL RIVER BASIN - MINOR FLOODING
SOUTHEAST PA BASINS - MINOR TO MODERATE FLOODING
DELAWARE RIVER BASIN - MINOR TO MODERATE FLOODING
CARBON/MONROE COUNTY BASINS - MINOR TO MODERATE FLOODING

IN NEW JERSEY...

PASSAIC BASIN - MODERATE TO MAJOR FLOODING WITH SOME RECORDS POSSIBLE
RARITAN BASIN - MINOR TO MODERATE FLOODING WITH SOME MAJOR FLOODING
ASSUNPINK BASIN - MINOR TO MODERATE FLOODING
RANCOCAS BASIN - MINOR FLOODING

CREEKS AND RIVERS ARE FORECAST TO CLIMB ABOVE FLOOD STAGE TONIGHT AND
SATURDAY. CRESTS WILL OCCUR ALONG THE LARGE RIVERS SATURDAY INTO
SUNDAY. IN SOME CASES ACROSS THE PASSAIC, FORECAST POINTS WILL
REMAIN IN FLOOD THROUGH THE NEXT RISE AND NOT FALL BELOW FLOOD
STAGE UNTIL NEXT WEEK.

IF YOU LIVE OR WORK IN A FLOODPLAIN WHERE FLOODING COULD OCCUR,
PLEASE USE THE EARLY PART OF TODAY TO FINISH ANY LAST MINUTE
PREPARATIONS.

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
COASTAL FLOOD WARNING POSTED AT 3PM. ODDS FOR REACHING MODERATE
THRESHOLD ARE IN MY OPINION ABOUT 85 PERCENT AT PHL AND 65 PERCENT
AT REEDY POINT. ITS NOT A LOCK SHUT CASE FOR MODERATE BUT TRENDS
ARE FAVORABLE AS SOUTHEAST WINDS CONTINUE PILING WATER UP AT THE
UPPER END OF THE DEL BAY THIS EVENING.

PHILADELPHIA HAD A HIGHER DEPARTURE EARLY THIS MORNING COMPARED TO
REEDY POINT WITH THE STORM TIDE EXCEEDING THE THE MINOR FLOOD
THRESHOLD BY LESS THAN AN INCH 8.22 VS THE FS OF 8.20. REEDY POINT
WAS HALF A FOOT UNDER FS. THIS IS POSSIBLY DUE TO THE NARROWER
CHANNELING AND EASIER FILLING OF THE BASIN NEAR PHL AND ALSO THE
HIGHER THAN NORMAL FLOW OF THE DELAWARE RIVER.

THAT SAID...THIS PLACES PHL IN A PRETTY GOOD POSITION TO REACH
MODERATE COASTAL FLOOD THRESHOLD TOMORROW MORNING.

REEDY POINT THIS AFTERNOON WAS ABOUT .3 UNDER FS AT 230 PM.
PHL AT 512 PM WAS JUST 0.04 ABOVE MINOR THRESHOLD AND BASICALLY
COVERED IN THE WARNING. SHOULD END UP ABOUT .1 OR .15 ABOVE MINOR
THRESHOLD.

THE OVERALL SCENARIO FOR COASTAL FLOODING HAS NOT CHANGED FOR THE
HIGH TIDE CYCLE LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. THE GREATEST
THREAT REMAINS ON THE UPPER DELAWARE BAY AND THE DELAWARE
RIVER...WHERE FUNNELING OF GALE FORCE WIND GUSTS COULD PRODUCE
MODERATE TIDAL FLOODING DURING THE EARLY MORNING HIGH TIDE CYCLE.

LOCAL GUIDANCE AND THE MDL STORM SURGE GUIDANCE BOTH SUGGEST TIDE
HEIGHTS APPROACHING MODERATE TIDAL FLOODING AS HIGH TIDE APPROACHES.
HIGH TIDE OCCURS AT REEDY POINT AROUND 230 AM FRIDAY...AND THE HIGH
TIDE OCCURS AT PHILADELPHIA CLOSER TO 530 AM FRIDAY.

CHESAPEAKE BAY...GREATEST IMPACT OF THE PERSISTENT GUSTY ESE FLOW
IS ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE BAY AND TO OUR KNOWLEDGE NO FLOODING
OCCURRED THIS MORNING ON THE MD E SHORE. FORECASTS ARE RUNNING TO
HIGH SO FAR ON CBOFS AND SO FOR NOW...I THINK ODDS STRONGLY FAVOR
ONLY ADVY CRITERIA THIS EVENING AS IS ALREADY POSTED IN OUR PRODUCT.

THE HIGH TIDE CYCLE LATE THIS EVENING COULD PRODUCE A BETTER CHANCE
AT MINOR TIDAL FLOODING. BASED ON THE CHESAPEAKE BAY FORECASTING
SYSTEM OUTPUT...BOTH CAMBRIDGE AND TOLCHESTER WOULD EXCEED MINOR
TIDAL FLOODING BENCHMARK NUMBERS DURING THIS TIDE CYCLE. HIGH TIDE
THIS EVENING OCCURS BETWEEN 730 PM AND 1100 PM...FROM SOUTH TO
NORTH.

&&

.CLIMATE...
ANOTHER ROBUST SURGE OF MOISTURE FROM THE SOUTHWEST WILL INUNDATE

Flood, Morris

When: March 10, 6:26 PM EST to March 14, 9:16 AM EST
Where: Morris County, 1.11 mi SSE of Chatham to 2.59 mi ESE of Green Vlg
Cause: Heavy Rain
Reported by: River/Stream Gage
Coordinates: 40.715, -74.394

The worst affected areas of eastern Morris County had continuous flooding that started on March 7th. Please refer to that stormdata entry for more details about the affected areas of Pequannock Township and Lincoln Park Borough. Elsewhere in Morris County, many roadways were closed and basements flooded. In Dover, several roads were closed on both sides of the Rockaway River. This also affected the downtown area and Gardner Field. A garage housing the local school buses were flooded. A shelter was opened.
