The wider storm
A strengthening coastal low pressure system brought several rounds of rain to the region Sunday night into Monday (December 17-18th). Total rainfall amounts across the forecast area varied from about 1.50 inches up to 7.00 inches. The heaviest rains fell across southern Delaware up through the coastal plain of New Jersey. This heavy rain fell on already saturated soils. As a result, river flooding was prevalent across the Passaic Basin, Raritan Basin, and southeast Pennsylvania basins including the Schuylkill and Brandywine. The Brandywine flooding extended in to Delaware. Smaller streams and rivers across northern New Castle County in Delaware, such as the Christina, Red Clay, and White Clay also flooded.
Began near Hammonton (39.6500, -74.7900).
