Overview

  • The National Weather Service updated a flash flood warning at 10:01 p.m. Sunday for Bucks, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties and extended it until midnight Monday.
  • Radar data indicated between 0.5 and 1.5 inches of rain had fallen with rainfall rates of two to three inches per hour expected across the warned area.
  • Ongoing flash flooding threatens small creeks, urban streets, highway underpasses and other low-lying areas as saturated soils exacerbate runoff.
  • Earlier time-limited severe thunderstorm warnings for multiple Alabama counties and Lancaster County, PA, have since expired following the afternoon storm activity.
  • The NWS continues to urge residents to move to higher ground, avoid driving through flooded roadways and follow standard safety guidance during rapidly evolving storms.
