The episode as NWS PHI wrote it up.
The strong nor'easter dropped heavy precipitation, primarily in the form of rain during the day on 9th. Storm total amounts on the day averaged 1 to 3 inches across the state with the highest amounts along the coastal counties. This caused poor drainage flooding, especially across east central New Jersey. The flooding was exacerbated further near the high tide cycle that morning. Isolated river flooding also occurred. Precipitation started before sunrise on the 9th and fell at its heaviest during the first half of the day. The rain tapered off and ended from south to north during the afternoon and evening of the 9th.
The heavy precipitation was caused by a low pressure system that formed off the Carolina coastal waters on the 8th. It tracked northward and deepened as it reached the Delmarva coastal waters at 7 a.m. EST on the 9th. The low pressure system deepened 12 millibars in six hours and was off the New Jersey coastal waters at 1 p.m. EST on the 9th. The track and rapid intensification helped bring moisture from the Atlantic Ocean into New Jersey. The low pressure system stopped intensifying and drifted off to the northeast reaching the Rhode Island coastal waters during the evening of the 9th and eastern Massachusetts around Midnight EST on the 10th. This ended the heavy rain in the state.

WE MAY NEED TO ISSUE NEW ONES FOR EARLY WEDNESDAY AS BACKSIDE

THE PROBLEMS AS TEMPS FALL TO NEAR FREEZING.
WINTER STORM WARNING EXTENDED TO 18Z WED TO CAPTURE BACKSIDE SNOW.
THIS IS THE MOST UNCERTAIN PART OF THE FORECAST. NEARLY ISOTHERMAL
VERTICAL THERMAL PROFILE WESTERN PORTION OF CARBON/MONROE COUNTY
WITH EXPECTED MXD FREEZING/FROZEN PCPN AT THE START CHANGING TO A
PERIOD OF HEAVY SNOW THIS MORNING. THEN THE LIFT WEAKENS AND IT

DEFORMATION ZONE WILL SETUP...IN PENNSYLVANIA. SNOWFALL RATES
COULD BE PRETTY HEFTY ACROSS OUR EASTERN PA ZONES WEST OF PHILADELPHIA

RAIN BACK TO SNOW. STILL THINK A SWATH OF 8-10 IS VERY POSSIBLE
WITH HIGHER AMOUNTS IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS.
