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
-----------------
* 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.
