| episode_narrative | On the evening of the 2nd, as one low pressure system headed into the Great Lakes, a second low pressure system formed along its frontal boundary along the coastal plains of the South Atlantic States. Not only did this second low pressure system increase the pressure gradient (or surface pressure difference between it and a strong high pressure system over the Canadian Maritimes), but it also brought heavy rain into the region. Heavy rain fell for most of the morning of the 3rd and produced the usual urban and poor drainage flooding. In the Poconos until mid morning a combination of heavy rain and heavy freezing rain fell. In Philadelphia, the Frankford Creek at Castor Avenue crested at 6.6 feet at 950 a.m. EST. Flood stage is estimated at 6 feet. The creek was above flood stage from 9 a.m. through 1030 a.m. EST. The usual poor drainage flooding occurred elsewhere, but no other serious flooding was reported.Storm totals for the entire event included 2.50 inches in Center Bridge (Bucks County), 2.46 inches in New Hope (Bucks County), 2.45 inches in Crum Creek (Delaware County), 2.40 inches in West Chester (Chester County), 2.37 inches in Perkasie (Bucks County) and Chadds Ford (Delaware County), 2.31 inches in Glenmoore (Chester County), 2.30 inches in Tobyhanna (Monroe County), 2.29 inches in Springtown (Bucks County), 2.04 inches in East Stroudsburg (Monroe County), 1.95 inches in Morgantown (Berks County) and Easton (Northampton County), 1.90 inches in Green Lane (Montgomery County), 1.85 inches in Pottstown (Montgomery County), 1.71 inches at the Lehigh Valley International Airport, 1.57 inches in Hamburg (Berks County), 1.52 inches in Lehighton (Carbon County), 1.51 inches at the Philadelphia International Airport, 1.49 inches at the Northeast Philadelphia Airport, 1.43 inches in Long Pond (Monroe County) and 1.24 inches in Reading (Berks County). |
