The National Weather Service has issued a flood watch for Philadelphia and the region. The flood watch extends until Thursday night.
According to the National Weather Service, low pressure associated with Tropical Storm Nicole will move up the East Coast tonight and Thursday. With extremely high moisture content... a strong storm inflow... and lots of instability... rain beginning tonight will be heavy at times later tonight and especially Thursday. The rain should taper off Thursday night as the center of tropical low pressure moves north of our area.
Total precipitation is expected to average 2 to 4 inches... but local amounts may be up to 6 or 7 inches. Although the forecast could change... at this time the greatest precipitation is expected over the northeast Maryland shore... eastern Pennsylvania... Delaware... and western New Jersey. Slightly lesser although still heavy amounts may occur closer to the New Jersey coast.
