Philadelphia, PA – The National Weather Service has issued a flood watch for parts of Pennsylvania as Hurricane Debby nears. Hot and humid conditions are expected Monday and Tuesday, though temperatures should stay below heat advisory levels. According to the National Weather Service Philadelphia/Mount Holly, vulnerable populations such as the elderly, children, and the sick should stay cool and hydrated.
The southern Poconos and northern New Jersey might experience isolated severe thunderstorms tonight, with damaging wind gusts as the primary threat. A cold front is expected to cross the area Tuesday night, interacting with tropical moisture from Hurricane Debby and potentially causing heavy tropical downpours. Flood watches are in effect for regions that may be impacted.
Additionally, Hurricane Debby is being monitored as it moves through the Southeast and may impact the Mid-Atlantic later this week. Residents are advised to stay updated with the latest forecasts and take necessary precautions.
