Storms Pummel Area, Leaving Behind Damage, Flooding — And More Are Coming

Heavy rains Saturday into Sunday and more rain expected prompted authorities to issue a flood advisory and flash flood warning throughout the Greater Philadelphia area for Sunday.

Sunday's early advisory lasted until 7:15 a.m. and covered Burlington, Camden and Mercer counties in New Jersey, as well as Bucks, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties in Pennsylvania.

A flash flood warning will remain in effect until 11 a.m. for portions of Burlington and Ocean counties in New Jersey. Flood advisories will also remain in effect until 11:45 a.m. for portions of the same counties.

Flash flood warnings are in place until 11 a.m. for parts of Burlington and Ocean counties in New Jersey as heavy rain continues to pass through the area.

Parts of the Jersey Shore were hit hard, including Ortley Beach near Seaside Heights, where viewer video showed a car stuck in a flooded intersection.

The nearby Ocean County Airport reported it received more than 5 inches of rain in Saturday's storms.

The wet weather also caused problems early Sunday on I-76 in Philadelphia, where water pooled on the highway causing lane restrictions and was likely to blame for at least one crash that temporarily shut down the road.

Periods of heavy and spotty rain are expected to continue throughout the morning, with a chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms returning in the afternoon and early evening.
