The NBC10 First Alert Weather Team continues the FIRST ALERT until Tuesday evening due to flooding in parts of our area from waves of heavy rain.
On and off windswept rain showers continue to fall across the entire region. Localized street and stream flooding occurred in parts of the area due to the record breaking rainfall amounts we saw Sunday. Flooding impacted drivers on Columbus Boulevard in Philadelphia late Monday afternoon.
The streets were also so flooded in Wildwood, New Jersey, that one person was spotted in a kayak.
Rain and wind also caused delays for arriving flights at Philadelphia International Airport.
Coastal flooding during high tide cycles will continue through Monday evening for our Delaware beaches and Jersey Shore. Monday's rain tapered off to scattered showers.
A few more showers and storms are likely at any time on Tuesday which could lead to localized flooding. We could also see more rain during the afternoon on Wednesday. Then the rain should start shifting to the south for the rest of the week. The shower threat will linger south of Philadelphia, but Philadelphia and points north and west should dry out through next weekend.

Breaking news and the stories that matter to your neighborhood.
All eyes are on Hurricane Florence and a potential landfall late this week as it approaches the East Coast. The odds for a landfall in The Carolinas have increased dramatically in the last 24 hours. These areas will need to start preparing for the likelihood of a category 3 or 4 hurricane storm. Once Florence makes landfall, indications are that it may slow down and stall, producing extremely heavy rainfall and flash flooding over a widespread area of the south. Everyone along the east coast should continue to watch Florence for any possible track and intensity changes through this upcoming week.
