NBC10 First Alert Weather: Heavy Rain Pounds Region, Flood Risk Sticks Around

The region awoke Wednesday to heavy rainfall in many areas and localized flooding in some parts.

Some of the heaviest rain pushed through eastern Pennsylvania and moved into South Jersey and Delaware. Berks County and eastern Lancaster County this morning saw nearly four inches of rain, while the Pottstown area saw about 2.5 inches, and many other areas saw more than 2 inches.

Flash flood warnings along the Jersey Shore, and flood advisories for much of the area, including the city, Bucks, Montgomery and Delaware counties, and much of South Jersey, expired Wednesday afternoon as the storm moved out.

PECO reported Wednesday morning that the weather knocked out power to about 2,000 of its customers, but officials said the outages were scattered, not in one particular area.

NBC10 First Alert Weather chief meteorologist Glenn " Hurricane" Schwartz said to expect a beautiful Thursday and nice Friday before the heat and humidity take hold again this weekend with a heat wave possible.
