Flooding downpours in Burlington, Chester Counties
Widspread flooding possible tomorrow; downpours pounding Chester, Burlington Counties this afternoon.
Flood advisories have been posted for central Burlington and western Chester Counties as two separate, almost vertically oriented, clusters of thunderstorms are hammering those areas.
Meanwhile, the National Weather Service has decided to place the entire region under a flood watch in effect from tomorrow morning through Wednesday night.
It is now calling for up to 4 inches of rain, and amounts at that level certainly would be enough to coax the usual-suspect streams out of their banks.
The Delaware River and Schuylkill, however, should remain well below flood stage.
The bulk of the rain is expected later tomorrow and tomorrow night, however from this radar image, it's clear that Burlington and Chester are getting quite a nasty appetizer.
