| episode_narrative | Heavy rain fell across Eastern Pennsylvania during the afternoon and evening of the 28th and caused urban and poor drainage flooding. It also left the region vulnerable to additional heavy rain. Rain began falling during the late evening on the 27th, but fell at its heaviest during the afternoon and evening of the 28th as scattered thunderstorms occurred. The rain ended during the evening of the 28th. Storm totals averaged around two inches. A few roads were closed because of the flooding. The combination of runoff and snow melt caused isolated pockets of minor flooding along the Delaware River on the morning of the 30th. In Northampton County, in Forks Township, North Delaware Drive (Pennsylvania State Route 611) was flooded. The Delaware River at Riegelsville (Warren County, New Jersey) crested at 21.3 feet. Flood stage at Riegelsville is 22 feet. Farther down the Delaware, in Yardley (Bucks County), a mile long stretch of River Road was flooded by the Delaware River in three low-lying sections. The Delaware River at Trenton (Mercer County, New Jersey) crested at 17.8 feet. Flood stage at Trenton is 20 feet. Storm totals included 2.94 inches in Kresgeville (Monroe County), 2.56 inches in Pocono Summit (Monroe County), 2.35 inches in Walnutport (Northampton County), 2.38 inches in Forks Township (Northampton County), 2.33 inches in Mount Pocono (Monroe County), 2.20 inches in Springtown (Bucks County), 2.02 inches in Tannersville (Monroe County), 1.83 inches in Perkasie (Bucks County), 1.66 inches in Doylestown (Bucks County) and 1.65 inches in Neshaminy Falls (Bucks County). The heavy rain was caused by a low pressure system that formed along the Gulf Coast States. This low pressure system was captured by its support aloft and thus moved only slowly northeast as it tapped abundant moisture from both the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. The low pressure system moved from western Alabama at 7 a.m. EST on the 27th northeast to eastern Tennessee at 7 p.m. EST on the 27th and eastern Kentucky at 7 a.m. EST on the 28th. A secondary low pressure system formed over North Carolina during the morning of the 28th. It would become the main low pressure system as it moved northeast to near Norfolk, Virginia at 1 p.m. EST on the 28th, Chesapeake Bay at 7 p.m. EST on the 28th, Delaware Bay at 1 a.m. EST on the 29th and about 100 miles east of Atlantic City at 7 a.m. EST on the 29th. |
