Hazardous Weather Outlook as Heat and Storms Move In

The National Weather Service issued a Hazardous Weather Outlook for much of the region Monday due to hot and humid conditions as well as localized heavy downpours.

The Hazardous Weather Outlook included central and southern Delaware, northeast Maryland, New Jersey and northeast, east central and southeastern Pennsylvania.

While most of the area may remain dry, NBC10 First Alert Chief Meteorologist Glenn "Hurricane" Schwartz said that areas who do see downpours could receive a significant amount of rain.

Heavy rain and claps of thunder overnight woke up plenty of people around the Philadelphia region. The storms also put some people at risk for localized flooding.

The National Weather Service put a Flood Advisory in effect Monday for parts of Camden, Cumberland, Gloucester and Salem counties in South Jersey that expired at 6:15 a.m. An earlier advisory for Kent County in Delaware expired at 5:30 a.m. Monday.

The storms dropped more than 2 inches of rain on some areas. 

More scattered storms hit parts of the region Monday afternoon. In Elkins Park, Pennsylvania 330 customers were without power after a tree fell on wires on the 8000 block of Brookside Road around 4:45 p.m. Power was later restored to all but five of the customers about an hour later.
