It's been a very wet and miserable Thursday with pockets of steady rain and gusty winds impacting the Philadelphia region all day. While we do need the rain, ponding and localized urban flooding are possibilities, and it's been a very slow go.

A NEXT Weather Alert is in effect Thursday for wind and rain across the region.

Winds will pick up near the shore, gusting up to 30 or 35 mph and move across the entire Delaware Valley. The rainfall totals will likely end up in the 1 to 3 inch range, spread over the course of 6-12 hours. Because of the extended period, flash flooding isn't likely but certainly bears watching.

At 11:55 a.m., the National Weather Service issued a coastal flood warning until 10 p.m. Thursday in New Jersey.
