Flash Flood Watch

Flood Watch  National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ  958 AM EDT Sun May 27 2018    ...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE TONIGHT...    The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has expanded the    * Flash Flood Watch to include portions of Delaware, northeast    Maryland, and southern New Jersey, including the following    areas, in Delaware, Delaware Beaches, Inland Sussex, Kent, and    New Castle. In northeast Maryland, Caroline, Cecil, Kent MD,    Queen Annes, and Talbot. In southern New Jersey, Atlantic    Coastal Cape May, Cape May, Cumberland, and Salem.    * Until 4 AM EDT Monday morning    * Additional showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop    early this afternoon across southeastern Pennsylvania and the    eastern shore of Maryland and move slowly eastward across    southern New Jersey and Delaware through tonight. Torrential    downpours may lead to excessive rainfall amounts of up to two    inches in one hour and two to five inches within a few hours.    Excessive rainfall within a short period of time can lead to    rapidly rising waters, particularly in urban areas and along    small streams, which can lead to flash flooding.    PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...    A Flash Flood Watch means that there is the potential for flash  flooding which can be life-threatening. Heavy rain is expected to  occur over a short period of time. Rapidly rising flood waters  may quickly inundate roadways and areas of poor drainage. Streams  and creeks could leave their banks, flooding nearby properties.    Please monitor the forecast, especially if you live in a location  that is prone to flooding. Be prepared to take action if a flash  flood warning is issued for your area.

The National Weather Service has continued the Flood Watch and has now issued a Coastal Flood Advisory for the Borough.  The Flood Watch is in effect from now through Saturday afternoon, and the Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect from Friday, May 18th at 9:00pm through Saturday, May 19th at 2:00am.

A low pressure system will continue to produce rain in our region through Saturday morning.  The rain could be heavy at times which could cause some street flooding.  Never drive on a flooded street as this puts you, and your vehicle, in danger.  The Coastal Flood Advisory means minor tidal flooding could occur at time of high tide late Friday evening; high tide at the Townsend’s Inlet Bridge will occur at 11:21pm Friday.

Streets that typically flood during coastal flood events may see some water.  Continue to exercise caution while driving.

Coastal Flood Advisory

Coastal Hazard Message  National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ  404 AM EDT Fri May 18 2018      ...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 9 PM THIS EVENING TO  2 AM EDT SATURDAY...    The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has issued a Coastal  Flood Advisory, which is in effect from 9 PM this evening to 2 AM  EDT Saturday.    * LOCATIONS...The Atlantic coastal waters of New Jersey and    Delaware and the adjacent areas near lower Delaware Bay.    * COASTAL FLOODING...Minor tidal flooding expected.    * TIMING...The high tide between roughly 11 p.m. and 1 a.m. High    tide will occur several hours later across the back bays.      PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...    A Coastal Flood Advisory means that minor tidal flooding is  expected. Minor Tidal flooding often results in some road  closures. Usually...the most vulnerable roadways will flood.    Do not leave your vehicle at a location that is prone to tidal  flooding. Do not drive your vehicle through flood waters. The  water may be deeper than you think it is. You will be putting  yourself in danger and your vehicle may be damaged...leading to  costly repairs.

Flood Watch  National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ  342 AM EDT Fri May 18 2018      ...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON...    The Flood Watch continues for    * Delaware, northeast Maryland, most of New Jersey, and portions    of southeast Pennsylvania.    * Through Saturday afternoon    * Periods of moderate to heavy rain will move into southern New    Jersey and the Delmarva this morning. Periods of moderate to    heavy rain will move into Delmarva late tonight through Saturday    morning, then expand northward into southeastern Pennsylvania    and New Jersey Saturday afternoon and night. Additional rainfall    amounts of 1 to 4 inches are expected over the next 72 hours    with the highest totals occurring in Delmarva and far southern    New Jersey. Locally higher amounts over 5 inches are possible in    slow-moving thunderstorms.    * A variety of flooding types are possible. Low-lying and poor    drainage flooding will be the most common type of flooding to    develop. Flash flooding will also be possible if thunderstorms    repeatedly move over the same locations, especially in urban    areas where rainfall runoff is maximized and where small    creeks and streams respond quickly. Flash flooding occurs    quicker than other types flooding due to the torrential rain    thunderstorms can produce in a short amount of time. Several    days of excessive runoff will eventually lead to a risk of    flooding in larger streams and rivers though the extent of the    flooding will depend on where the heaviest rain falls.    PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...    A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on  current forecasts.

The National Weather Service has issued a Flash Flood Watch for the Borough from late Tuesday afternoon into late Tuesday night.  A line of severe thunderstorms is expected to impact most areas along the Jersey Shore later today.  These storms could bring heavy downpours and cause street flooding in a short amount of time.

Never attempt to drive on any flooded street or through any flooded intersection as this puts you and your vehicle at risk.  If you have an emergency, dial 911.  If you have a power outage, call Atlantic City Electric at 1-800-833-7476.  Please continue to follow traditional media outlets for updates on the forecast.

Flash Flood Watch

Flood Watch  National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ  340 AM EDT Tue May 15 2018      The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has issued a    * Flash Flood Watch for portions of Delaware, northeast    Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, including the    following areas, in Delaware, Kent and New Castle. In    northeast Maryland, Cecil, Kent MD, and Queen Annes. In New    Jersey, Atlantic, Atlantic Coastal Cape May, Camden, Cape May,    Coastal Atlantic, Coastal Ocean, Cumberland, Eastern Monmouth,    Gloucester, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Northwestern    Burlington, Ocean, Salem, Somerset, Southeastern Burlington,    and Western Monmouth.

There are indications that storms may repeatedly move over the    same areas, especially during the evening hours. Localized    rainfall of one to three inches is likely where this occurs.    Combined with the rainfall received this past weekend, this may    lead to a few instances of flash flooding.    * The areas of greatest risk are poor-drainage and urban    locations, where rapid runoff may cause localized flash    flooding. Quickly responding creeks and streams may also    experience flooding in areas receiving the heaviest rainfall.    The storms are expected to move through the area during or just    after the evening commute. Motorists should be prepared for    torrential downpours and potential flooding as the storms move    through.    PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...    A Flash Flood Watch means that there is the potential for flash  flooding which can be life-threatening. Heavy rain is expected to  occur over a short period of time. Rapidly rising flood waters  may quickly inundate roadways and areas of poor drainage. Streams  and creeks could leave their banks, flooding nearby properties.    Please monitor the forecast, especially if you live in a location  that is prone to flooding. Be prepared to take action if a flash  flood warning is issued for your area.

The National Weather Service has issued a Tornado Watch for the Borough.  The Watch is in effect on Saturday, May 12th until Sunday, May 13th, at 1:00am.  The Watch means that conditions may be favorable for the development of a tornado.

A front is pushing towards our area this evening.  Sky conditions will change near nightfall with the likelihood of thunderstorms, possibly containing hail, strong gusty winds, and heavy downpours.  It is possible the National Weather Service may issue a Severe Thunderstorm Warning later this evening.  The threat of severe storms will diminish towards daybreak on Sunday.

If you hear thunder or see lightning, seek shelter immediately.  Please be aware that rainfall may be heavy at times and could cause street flooding; this will not be a typical coastal flooding event as any flood waters in the streets will be from the result of heavy rainfall.  If you experience an emergency, dial 911.  If you experience a power outage, please call Atlantic City Electric directly at 1-800-833-7476.  Never attempt to drive over or touch any downed utility line.  If you have objects outside your home that are subject to strong winds, consider bringing those objects inside.
