Update on flooding in New Jersey Monday into Tuesday
FOX 29’s Ali Reid has the latest update after heavy rain caused flooding and major delays in New Jersey.
MAPLE SHADE, N.J, - Weather across the region overnight caused backups and delays in parts of Burlington County, New Jersey.
Flooding was a major issue for commuters across Southampton, Riverside and Maple Shade.
Rain fall amounts hit anywhere from two to five inches.
Strong onshore winds amounted to two rounds of high tides, leading to flooding from the Pennsauken Creek along Route 73 in Maple Shade.
It caused major midday delays.
The National Weather Service says flooding isn't over just yet.
"The rain as of early this afternoon is pretty much out of our region now, but because there has been so much water over the last 24 hours it is going to take some time for all of that water to work its way through our rivers and creeks." said Sarah Johnson, Warning Coordination Meteorologist for the NWS.
Places like Mount Holly and Pemberton are being closely watched.
