“Right now, it looks like we have a pretty good chance of moderate to heavy rain on Monday night into Tuesday morning,” said Dean Iovino, a National Weather Service meteorologist at the Mount Holly-Philadelphia office.
“That could result in some flooding which is why a flash flood watch is in effect.”

A flash flooding watch covering Monday night to Tuesday afternoon, is predicted for streams, urban areas, places with poor drainage and in the areas where the heaviest rain could fall.
