The heavy rains spared Philly, but the city did set a record for September heat waves.
Storms that appeared to ooze rather than move deluged parts of South Jersey with downpours that set off traffic-snarling road flooding late Saturday afternoon, and forecasters say encores are possible Sunday.
On Saturday in Camden County rains swamped southbound lanes of I-295 at exit 28 with up to 2 feet of water, and flooding also was reported near exit 29. Flooding also was reported at Route 130 and Route 42.The rains were borne on sea breezes off the Atlantic, Brudy said, and rather than traveling west to east as storms usually do, Saturday’s moved more or less east to west.
Additional rain clusters developed from the storms’ “outflow boundaries” — cool descending air spreading away from a thunderstorm — which can generate more thunderstorms by forcing warmer air to rise and condense.
