…FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM TUESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING…

The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has issued a

  • Flash Flood Watch for southeastern Pennsylvania and much of New
    Jersey.
  • From Tuesday afternoon through Tuesday evening
  • Showers and thunderstorms will begin to develop around midday
    and continue through the afternoon and evening hours. Periods of
    heavy rain can be expected with areas of 1 to 2 inches, with
    local amounts up to 5 inches possible. These rainfall totals may
    occur in a short amount of time, and could lead to flash
    flooding.
  • The risk of flash flooding is highest in urbanized and low-
    lying areas. Rapid rises on small creeks and streams are
    possible.

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.

Heat Wave Over But Humidity Remains For Now

22. July 2019 · Comments Off on Heat Wave Over But Humidity Remains For Now · Categories: Flash Floods, thunderstorms

96 was the high temperature in Stewartsville over the weekend. Combine that with a 90+ high on Friday and we have another heat wave in the books for Summer of 2019.

Some scattered thunderstorms helped bring an end to the heat last evening. Stewartsville recorded 0.23″ of rain. Other locations received more and some less. there were some scattered reports of power outages and trees down as well.

Speaking of severe weather today we have a better chance of seeing some. The SPC has placed out entire area in a slight risk for seeing some severe weather. Most likely to see downpours and gusty winds. Best time frame is mid afternoon into this evening.

We remain under a Flash Flood Watch into Tuesday. The map above shows that we have a moderate risk of seeing some flash flooding in our entire area with today’s forecast of storms and potential heavy rain showers.

Once we get through the rain later today, tonight and early on Tuesday, we will be rewarded with some lower humidity and delightful mid-summer weather for the remainder of the week!

One More Day…

21. July 2019 · Comments Off on One More Day… · Categories: Flash Floods, Heat, thunderstorms

No I’m not going to start singing a number from Les Miz. Just one more day of the uncomfortable hot and humid weather. Stewartsville did reach 96 degrees yesterday. Many areas reached the mid and upper 90’s in western New Jersey yesterday as well. A few areas received a pop-up thundershower yesterday that perhaps provided a brief break in the weather.

Today will be rinse and repeat complete with the sweat and swelter. There could be a few more pop-up showers and thundershowers later this afternoon and evening. I don’t expect these to be widespread but there should be a few more. there could even be some late this evening as well.

When the cooler weather arrives on Monday it will be accompanied by increase chances for rain and thundershowers. There’s enough of a chance for this that the NWS has issued a Flash Flood Watch for our area.

I expect the first round of showers and perhaps thundershowers mid to late morning into the early afternoon. Then there will be a break until more arrive mid to late afternoon into the evening.

It looks like the front that will be responsible for the cooler weather will be slow to move through our area late Monday into Tuesday morning. A weak low pressure area could form along the front and prolong the chances for rain into Tuesday.

Fear not by later Tuesday lower humidity will arrive along with the more comfortable temperatures. This delightful weather should last the rest of the week!

Severe Weather Possible Later Today; Dryer Weather on the Horizon

20. June 2019 · Comments Off on Severe Weather Possible Later Today; Dryer Weather on the Horizon · Categories: Flash Floods, thunderstorms · Tags:

The Storm Prediction Center has placed all of western New Jersey in a slight risk of severe weather today. The timeframe for this should me from mid-afternoon into the evening.

With the potential for more rain, the entire area is also under a Flash Flood Watch thru late tonight.

Amounts of rain will depend on whether or not you receive a heavy downpour as has been the case all week. Some areas receive only a little rain and others get flash floods. Most areas should receive at least another 1/4 – 1/2″ of rain today, much more if you receive a downpour/thunderstorm.

We will get a break in the weather starting Friday afternoon. There could be a leftover shower Friday morning then skies should clear and less humid and more sunshine should return to the area. It will be windy on Friday and breezy on Saturday to greet the first full weekend of Summer 2019!

Next week the heat and humidity return with summer like weather that includes the potential for a typical afternoon/evening thundershower in spots.

Third Day In A Row With Severe Weather Potential

30. May 2019 · Comments Off on Third Day In A Row With Severe Weather Potential · Categories: Flash Floods, thunderstorms · Tags: , , ,
SPC Severe weather potential for Thursday

In what’s the third day in a row, there is a potential for some severe convective weather in our area. What should be noted is that the risk for today is only slight where the last two days it was enhanced. So what does this mean? I don’t expect to see as many (or perhaps any) tornado warnings and just thunderstorms. Any strong thunderstorm can contain vivid lightning, downpours, gusty winds and hail.

The slight risk area is also further to the south and west as compared to yesterday. This may result in more of the storms in that area.

Flash Flood Watch this afternoon and evening

Since this is now the third day in a row some portions or western New Jersey have received heavy rain, a Flash Flood watch is in effect from 2 – 10 pm. These will be from the downpours associated with thunderstorms.

As always keep an eye to the sky. I will try and keep the facebook/twitter page updated as time permits.
