Over the past 36 hours, many locations in the Delaware River Basin have received roughly two to three inches of rain. Many coastal locations along the tidal Delaware River and Delaware Bay experienced significant tidal flooding. Despite the rains letting up, many creeks, streams, and rivers will not crest until Wednesday afternoon. Localized flooding will continue through this period, and drivers should continue to obey road closures and avoid all standing water.
