Rain, rain, go away, right? We were singing that song here in South Jersey all weekend long, weren t we?
As if the clouds didn t part enough over Memorial Day Weekend, South Jersey is expecting rain on and off all day Thursday. You d think it d be a good thing for our plants since it s been really hot over the past few weeks. However, with all the rain we ve gotten over the past weekend, today s downpours could prove to be less than favorable for certain parts of this region.
Of course, shore towns always need to be on alert. Flooding s common there. On the mainland, however, you don t see it happen too often. Today could be different. According to the National Weather Service s Mount Holly office, parts of Cumberland County that border Salem County as well as Salem County itself should be on high alert today in case of flash flooding.
