Philadelphia, PA — Coastal flooding remains a concern for Philadelphia and surrounding areas as minor flooding is expected to continue through Tuesday’s high tide cycles. The National Weather Service (NWS) has warned residents near coastal regions and the I-95 corridor to prepare for minor impacts. Dangerous currents along the Delaware and New Jersey shores pose additional hazards, with low-lying areas especially vulnerable.
According to the NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly office, a warm front from the west will bring scattered showers, primarily west of the I-95 corridor, while Tuesday afternoon may see increased flooding in Delaware Bay and surrounding coastal areas. Local residents are urged to monitor the weather closely and avoid driving through flooded roadways.
For those commuting near the affected areas, plan for potential delays and stay informed about changing conditions. By Thursday, the weather will turn warmer, with highs reaching 80°F, though rain chances persist. Temperatures will remain mild, with a mix of clouds and sun leading into the weekend. Coastal residents should prepare for additional flooding risks through the week’s end.
