But while forecast rainfall amounts are high \u2014 1 to 2 inches \u2014 they may not be as punishing as they could have been. <\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">\u201cIt should fall over a long enough period where we\u2019re not too, too concerned with flooding or anything like that at this time,\u201d Hoeflich said. The weather service said there might be some minor tidal flooding along the Delaware Bay, but no river flooding is forecast. <\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">Sunday night, showers and thunderstorms are likely before 1 a.m., according to the weather service. After that, the storms may linger, with new rainfall amounts between 1\/2 and 3\/4 of an inch possible. <\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">On Monday, there might be a few showers in the morning, but the area should dry out quickly thanks to Isaias\u2019 windy exit. <\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">Hoeflich put a positive spin on the wet overall outlook.<\/p>\n<p class=\"inq-p text-primary  \">\u201cIt should just be a beneficial rain,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Listen to article \u2022\u00a00:00 min The remnants of Hurricane Isaias are coming into clearer focus for Philadelphia, with&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":304761,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[125133,69,71,70],"class_list":["post-304760","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-hurricane-isaias-flooding-philadelphia-national-weather-service-mount-holly","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304760","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=304760"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304760\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/304761"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=304760"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=304760"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=304760"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
