The National Weather Service office in Mount Holly, New Jersey has put a Flood Watch into effect starting July 9 at 11:22 AM Eastern Time, with the watch expected to remain in place through midnight on July 10.
A Flood Watch means that conditions are favorable for flooding to develop in the watch area. Residents should remain alert, avoid low-lying areas, and be ready to act quickly if flooding begins or a Flood Warning is issued.
Authorities urge people to never attempt to walk or drive through flooded roadways. Even shallow water moving quickly can be extremely dangerous. The phrase “turn around, don’t drown” is a key reminder during any flood event.
Stay tuned to TV Delmarva and monitor the National Weather Service for the latest updates as conditions develop.
