Monday, July 14, 2025 - Weather Update
The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch for portions of the Tri-State area, including southeast Pennsylvania, northern Delaware, and much of New Jersey, in effect through late tonight (2:00 a.m. Tuesday, July 15, 2025).
Threat: Heavy showers and thunderstorms may produce torrential rainfall, leading to flash flooding. Expected rainfall totals of 1–2 inches are likely, with localized amounts exceeding 3 inches possible in areas of repeated heavy downpours.
Severe Weather Risk: Some thunderstorms may become severe, with damaging wind gusts as the primary threat. Frequent lightning is also possible.
Timeline: Scattered storms developing now, with a main line of showers and thunderstorms moving west to east from late afternoon through late evening. Lingering showers possible into early Tuesday morning.
Summary: A cold front approaching from the west is bringing scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms across much of the tristate area this afternoon and evening.
The heaviest rainfall is expected late afternoon into early evening, with the strongest storms capable of producing damaging wind gusts.
Most areas can expect 1–1.5 inches of rain, but locations seeing multiple thunderstorms could see over 3 inches in a short period. Due to recent rainfall, saturated soils heighten the risk of runoff and flash flooding. Significant main river flooding is NOT expected.
Storms should move out of the area by late evening, though we could see some showers may linger into early Tuesday. Isolated showers and thunderstorms are possible on Tuesday as the cold front stalls just south of area. Unfortunately, this boundary will lift back into our area later in the week, bringing us the chance for more rain.
As always, I will continue to monitor the radar and will provide updates as conditions evolve.
