    The latest for Philadelphia county reads as such:

    “About one to two and a half inches of rain has fallen. With nearly saturated soils, much of the rain is expected to runoff rather than soak into the ground. This will cause flooding in low lying and poor drainage areas as well as get small creeks and streams out of their banks.”

    Flood warnings are currently in effect until 7:45 a.m for Philadelphia, all warnings have been cancelled in New Jersey.

    SEPTA is expieriencing shut downs and delays–check before you go.
