Flood Watches For Monday PM For Some

Another slug of rain and wind are on the way, with potentially over an inch of rain in the offing for Monday afternoon and evening.   Due to the low tolerance of streams and watersheds to handle water in the northern and western suburbs, a flood watch is out for Monday PM for Southeastern Pennsylvania and three counties in Central New Jersey.

In some of these counties, the ground is pretty well soaked and flood guidance is just over an inch of rain in a six hour period.   As thunderstorms are poised to develop on Monday afternoon and evening, heavy rainfall could sweep through these waterlogged counties and lead to some stream flooding, ponding of water on roadways, and water collecting in low lying areas.

Computer guidance is suggesting upwards of two inches of rain Monday evening in some locations, with the northern and western suburbs under the gun for the heaviest rainfall as of last night's guidance.

We'll have a more thorough update on the storm's potential to bring heavy rain, severe weather, and a surge of warmth in advance of all of this "fun" in a post later on today.
