Severe thunderstorms have triggered flash flooding in the region, with Doppler radar confirming heavy rainfall. The area has already received between half an inch to an inch and a half of rain, and may see up to another half inch. Flash flooding is either happening or imminent. The main risks include rapidly rising water in small streams, city streets, highways, and low-lying areas. Cities at risk include Philadelphia, Camden, and surrounding communities. Affected highways include the Atlantic City Expressway, Interstate 295 in New Jersey, the New Jersey Turnpike, and several interstates in Pennsylvania. Though the worst of the rain has passed, any additional showers could worsen existing flood conditions. Residents are advised to stay alert and exercise caution.
