Good afternoon. Just posted my latest weather report and journal entry. In the course of preparing these two things, I noticed on the Weather Channel’s weatherscan that the National Weather Service office in Mount Holly, New Jersey issued a special weather statement concerning an area of showers stretching from Southern Middlesex County into Camden County.

The special weather statement was issued for the following areas: Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, and Salem counties in New Jersey as well as Bucks, Delaware, and Philadelphia counties in Pennsylvania, and New Castle county in Delaware. Very heavy rain was associated with this area of showers, and a few could develop into thunderstorms as they migrate eastward at a rate of 20 to 30 miles per hour along the New Jersey Turnpike/I-95 corridor.

These showers are capable of causing ponding on roadways, and fill up ditches and small streams and creeks. This is all a part of a pesky low pressure system that is being very slow to leave the Garden State as well as other portions of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.
