UPDATE: Flood Warning in Effect Until Friday Morning

The flood warning in Camden, Burlington and Gloucester counties now expires at 4:15 p.m.

The National Weather Service has extended the flood warning for urban areas and small streams in Camden, Burlington and Gloucester counties until just after midnight. The warning, which now expires at 12:15 Friday morning, was set to expire at 4:15 p.m. Thursday.

As of 3:41 p.m., some small creeks and streams and rivers are still above flood stages as a result of flooding due to heavy rain Wednesday night. Most are expected to crest shortly, but will take the majority of the night to get below flood levels.

Additionally, NJ Transit is offering system wide cross honoring on Thursday due to severe weather conditions.

The Flood Warning remains in effect for the North Branch Rancocas Creek in Pemberton, which was at 2.9 feet and rising slowly. It is expected to reach three feet by Friday morning and hit 3.5 feet before it recedes on Sunday.
