Storms that hit the Philadelphia area on Thursday dropped as much as 3-5 inches of rain in some locations and less than a half inch for others, according to radar estimates. Friday morning, residents around the region are cleaning up after the scattered bouts of heavy rain led to flash flooding, including in Lower Moreland, Montgomery County. Residents said water rushed into their yards and many vehicles were submerged as the rain poured down. Nearby, a car was seen stalled out in deep water. One woman said she's never seen flooding this bad in her community. "I have a foot of water around my entire just broke through the fence," neighbor Kim McQuiggan said. In the Huntington Valley section of the township, police officers blocked off a flooded area around Philmont Avenue and Red Lion Road. The storms also damaged trees around the region. In Caln Township, Chester County, first responders worked to pull a driver from a Tesla that had been hit by a falling tree.

Heavy rains, flooding disrupt US Eastern Seaboard
New York and New Jersey have declared states of emergency for areas facing the threat of flash floods from heavy downpours disrupting rail and air travel along the US Eastern Seaboard. The National Weather Service on Thursday posted flash flood warnings along parts of the Northeast urban corridor stretching from the Washington-Baltimore region north through Philadelphia, Wilmington, Delaware, and into Newark, New Jersey, and the New York City metropolitan area. Severe thunderstorm watches were also in effect across much of the Interstate-95 corridor, but forecasters said flash flood risks were starting to fade Thursday night. Scattered thunderstorms and heavy rainfall are expected to bring the potential for flooding across the Carolinas, Southern Plains, and the front-range of the Rockies on Friday. Fire weather concerns will persist in the northwestern Great Basin on Friday due to isolated dry… — National Weather Service (@NWS) August 1, 2025 Stormy weather during the day appeared to be a key factor disrupting commercial air travel across the Northeast. The eight major airports serving the region - Washington Dulles, Baltimore-Washington, Ronald Reagan Washington National, Philadelphia, Newark Liberty, LaGuardia, John F. Kennedy International and Boston Logan - accounted for the cancellation of at least 1170 flights into, out of or within the US, according to online flight tracking service FlightAware. Hundreds more flights were delayed. Passenger rail travel was also hampered, with Amtrak reporting service suspended between Philadelphia and Wilmington due to severe storms flooding the tracks. Service was restored about two hours later as water receded, but "residual delays" were expected, Amtrak said on X. A daily rainfall outlook map issued by the Weather Prediction Center put the risk of "excessive" showers capable of triggering flash floods at 40 per cent or higher for a swath of the mid-Atlantic and Northeast that is home to 37 million people. Up to 13cm of rain was forecast in the heaviest bands of showers across New York City, Long Island and the Hudson River Valley. The Weather Service attributed the storm threat to a cold front that was bringing a combination of unstable air mass and exceptional amounts of atmospheric moisture to the region.
