Flood Watch


A flood watch will be in effect from 12 a.m. Friday to 1 a.m. on Saturday for South Jersey.
Rain began on schedule early Thursday afternoon. A light to moderate rain will continue through the evening commute. Then, a break will be expected from about 6 p.m. to 11 p.m., earliest along the Delaware Bay. A steady rain will then begin back up afterwards.
Late Thursday night into Friday morning will be the brunt of the storm. A wind-swept rain (more on the wind later) will occur during this time. Pockets of roadway flooding, even more than the usual, will occur. A line of thunderstorms looks more likely, as unstable air moves in, bringing torrential rain locally. 
Friday afternoon will see the rain slow down, but it will not be over yet. Rather, it will be off and on. This will continue through the p.m. hours, ending on Friday evening. There is an outside shot of the rain ending as a few snowflakes inland.
