Cherry Hill, NJ – A dangerous flash flooding threat is unfolding across portions of southern New Jersey Friday morning, Nov. 6, as thunderstorms produce heavy rainfall and threaten roads, neighborhoods and low lying areas in three counties.
The National Weather Service has issued a Flash Flood Warning for central Burlington, central Camden and central Gloucester counties until 10:15 a.m. EST Friday.
According to the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, Doppler radar detected thunderstorms producing heavy rainfall across the warned area at 6:12 a.m., with between 1 and 2 inches already fallen.
Forecasters warn that rainfall rates could reach 1.5 to 2.5 inches per hour, with another 1 to 2 inches possible before conditions improve.
Flash flooding is already occurring or expected to begin shortly.
The warning includes communities such as Cherry Hill, Evesham, Mount Laurel, Deptford, Voorhees, Medford, West Deptford, Glassboro, Lindenwold, Lumberton and Bellmawr.
Heavy rainfall could rapidly overwhelm drainage systems, flooding streets, highways, underpasses and low lying neighborhoods.
Small creeks and streams may also rise quickly, creating dangerous conditions with little warning.
Drivers are urged to avoid flooded roadways.
The National Weather Service emphasizes its life saving safety message: "Turn around, don't drown."
Motorists should never attempt to drive through flooded streets, as water depth and roadway damage may be difficult to determine.
Residents in flood prone locations should remain alert for rapidly rising water and be prepared to move to higher ground if necessary.
The warning was issued with an Emergency Alert System activation request, underscoring the immediate threat.
Officials will continue monitoring rainfall and flooding conditions throughout the morning.
Residents should follow emergency instructions from local authorities and monitor updated warnings at weather.gov/phi .
The Flash Flood Warning remains in effect until 10:15 a.m. EST Friday , unless extended, canceled or replaced by the National Weather Service.
