Mount Holly, N.J. – Rain-weary residents across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware can expect more wet weather through Tuesday as a stubborn low-pressure system continues to hover over the Mid-Atlantic.
According to the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, a stalled low centered over West Virginia, eastern Kentucky, and Ohio is driving rounds of rain into the region. Though rainfall won’t be constant, repeated waves of showers are expected Sunday through Tuesday night, with occasional breaks offering only temporary relief.
The setup involves a classic “blocking pattern,” where low-pressure systems slow down or stall instead of progressing eastward. By Tuesday afternoon, the system is projected to shift northeast, potentially centering over Pennsylvania and New York before finally exiting the region on Wednesday. This prolonged setup increases the risk for localized flooding in low-lying or poorly drained areas.
Urban centers like Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Trenton should plan for intermittent rain that could impact Monday and Tuesday commutes. Wet roadways, reduced visibility, and standing water may cause delays—especially during morning and evening rush hours.
Residents are advised to monitor local alerts, limit unnecessary travel during heavier downpours, and check storm drains near homes.
More updates are expected as the low moves midweek. Rainfall chances taper off starting Wednesday.
