Flood Advisory Issued for Philly Burbs as Thunderstorms Roll In

Storms are heading across the Delaware Valley, bringing gusty winds and a flood advisory to parts of our region.

The flood advisory from the National Weather Service is in effect for portions of Bucks, Chester and Montgomery counties in Pennsylvania and parts of Camden Gloucester and Burling counties in New Jersey until 7:45 p.m.

An initial advisory also included parts of Berks and Lehigh counties.

The advisory warns that a line of storms stretching from northern Delaware to the suburbs north of Philadelphia could bring one to two inches of rain, which will cause rivers and streams to rise.

Rain began falling in parts of Chester County around 3 p.m. The showers will likely push into Philly around 4:30 p.m. -- which could bring relief to what has been a hot and sticky day.

High temperatures in the city hovered around 90 degrees, but the humidity made it feel 97 degrees outside.

Holiday travelers enjoying Labor Day weekend at the Jersey Shore will see showers sometime after 7 p.m.

Winds should pick up throughout the afternoon for beachgoers as the storms continue to move east.

But the system will likely break up by the time it reaches the coast, lessening the chance of rain for some Shore towns.
