**Flood Warning Issued for Southern New Jersey, Southeast Pennsylvania Until 4 AM Monday**
**PHILADELPHIA, PA [August 18, 2025, 12:16 AM]** – A flood warning is in effect for portions of southern New Jersey and southeastern Pennsylvania until 4:00 AM EDT on Monday, August 18th. The National Weather Service issued the warning due to excessive rainfall from thunderstorms, with Doppler radar and rain gauges indicating that between 2 and 4 inches of rain have already fallen in the affected areas. An additional inch of rainfall is possible before the warning expires.
The affected region includes the following counties:
* **Southern New Jersey:** Burlington and Camden
* **Southeast Pennsylvania:** Bucks, Montgomery and Philadelphia
Flooding of small rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone areas is either imminent or already occurring. Urban areas may experience drainage system backups.
Specific locations that could see flooding include Philadelphia, Camden, Bensalem, Mount Laurel, Willingboro, Medford, Lumberton, Florence, Burlington, Bristol, Mount Holly, and Riverside.
Authorities are urging residents to exercise extreme caution. “Turn around, don’t drown” is the key message. Do not attempt to drive through flooded roadways. Most flood-related fatalities occur in vehicles. Be particularly cautious at night when it is harder to identify flood dangers.
The weather for the remainder of the night will be mostly cloudy, breezy, and noticeably cooler than prior nights. There is a low chance of a couple showers, especially south of I-78.
