Tropical Storm Warnings for New Jersey Cancelled

Flooding Rain Threat Associated with Henri Continues

NEW INFORMATION

SITUATION OVERVIEW

Henri has weakened to a tropical storm with tropical storm force winds
no longer expected for New Jersey land or ocean zones. However, the
system is still expected to impact the region with heavy rain as it
tracks north across eastern Long Island into southern New England.

The main threat with this system is heavy rain leading to flash
flooding. In addition to the several inches of rain that already fell
overnight across portions of central and southern New Jersey resulting
in flash flooding, an additional 2 to 4 inches can be expected today
through tonight for portions of northeast Pennsylvania and northern
New Jersey. Farther south across southeast Pennsylvania and southern
New Jersey, additional rain amounts of 1 to 2 inches are forecast on
top of what has already fallen so far. The greatest threat for flash
flooding this afternoon through tonight will be shifting into northern
New Jersey and northeast Pennsylvania where the heaviest additional
rain is expected; however, areas farther south may still experience
additional flash flooding as well. Finally, with a full moon this
weekend, minor coastal flooding is possible with the high tide this
evening.

Hazardous marine conditions are developing over the northern Atlantic
waters with strong winds, rough seas, and dangerous rip currents. Seas
will build to six to ten feet. A high risk for rip currents is
expected to continue today for the New Jersey and Delaware coasts.

POTENTIAL IMPACTS

Protect against dangerous rainfall flooding having possible limited
to significant impacts across southern New Jersey and portions of
southeast Pennsylvania.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS

If you are prone to flooding, be prepared for the possibility of a
quick and dramatic rise in water levels.

It is important to remain calm, informed, and focused during an
emergency. Be patient and helpful with those you encounter.

Closely monitor weather.gov, NOAA Weather radio or local news outlets
for official storm information. Be ready to adapt to possible changes
to the forecast. Ensure you have multiple ways to receive weather
warnings.

NEXT UPDATE

As it pertains to this event...this will be the last Hurricane Local
Statement issued by the National Weather Service in Mount Holly NJ
regarding the effects of tropical cyclone hazards upon the area.
However, please consult weather.gov/phi as we will be continuing to
issue products covering the ongoing flood threat.

      SITUATION OVERVIEW
      ------------------
      
      Henri has weakened to a tropical storm with tropical storm force winds
      no longer expected for New Jersey land or ocean zones. However, the 
      system is still expected to impact the region with heavy rain as it 
      tracks north across eastern Long Island into southern New England.

      POTENTIAL IMPACTS
      -----------------
      
      * FLOODING RAIN:
      Additional impacts from flooding rain are still a concern. Protect
      against life-threatening rainfall flooding having possible extensive 
      impacts across New Jersey and portions of eastern Pennsylvania. 
      Potential impacts include:
          - Major rainfall flooding may prompt evacuations and rescues.
          - Rivers and tributaries may rapidly overflow their banks in
            multiple places. Small streams, creeks, canals, and ditches may 
            become dangerous rivers. In mountain areas, destructive runoff 
            may run quickly down valleys while increasing susceptibility to 
            rockslides and mudslides. Flood control systems and barriers may 
            become stressed.
          - Flood waters can enter many structures within multiple 
            communities, some structures becoming uninhabitable or washed 
            away. Many places where flood waters may cover escape routes. 
            Streets and parking lots become rivers of moving water with 
            underpasses submerged. Driving conditions become dangerous. 
            Many road and bridge closures with some weakened or washed out.
      
      Protect against dangerous rainfall flooding having possible limited 
      to significant impacts across southern New Jersey and portions of 
      southeast Pennsylvania.
      
      * WIND:
      Little to no impacts are anticipated at this time across NEW 
      JERSEY...DELAWARE...SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND NORTHEAST MARYLAND.
      
      * SURGE:
      Little to no impacts are anticipated at this time across NEW 
      JERSEY...DELAWARE...SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND NORTHEAST MARYLAND.
      
      * TORNADOES:
      Little to no impacts are anticipated at this time across NEW 
      JERSEY...DELAWARE...SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND NORTHEAST MARYLAND.
