Bands of showers and storms partially from Tropical Storm Danny are beginning to appear on Northeast radar. Danny remains very disorganized and winds are at 40mph. It's moving NNE at 12 mph. It should turn more NE tonight and stay offshore. Danny will likely not strengthen any more and should stay a weak tropical storm. The impacts from Danny will be some rough surf, higher than normal waves, rip currents, minor beach erosion, and some showers not directly associated from Danny. Swim near a lifeguard and follow their directions. The showers and heavy storms tonight will bring heavy rain with some flash flooding possible, gusty winds, and some lightning. They will continue tonight into tomorrow morning. Storms will taper a little tomorrow, but there will still be a chance for an isolated storm. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH is in effect for SALEM, GLOUCESTER, and CAMDEN counties THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING for the possibility of another 1-2" of rain tonight with locally higher amounts likely. Flash flooding may occur around small streams and creeks and in areas of poor drainage.
