FOX 29's Scott Williams has more.
PHILADELPHIA - Due to widespread rainfall, the National Weather Service extended its Flash Flood Watch through early Saturday morning.
The watch was allowed to expire Saturday at 2.a.m. Folks are urged to remain cautious while driving overnight as heavy rainfall caused flooding of small creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets, and underpasses as well as other poor drainage areas and low lying spots and it takes time for the water to recede.
