Flooding has been widespread in the region as Hurricane Ida's remnants move through Pennsylvania. Though Thursday morning brought sunny skies and lower chances of precipitation, area rivers and creeks are still expected to rise after the night's extreme weather. The National Weather Service issued flood warnings throughout much of the region that remain in effect.

Neshaminy Creek's flooding near Langhorne has already surpassed initial forecasts, according to NWS data. The last recorded water level was 20.81 feet, half a foot above the forecasted levels.

The Delaware River's water level is 16.72 feet at Stockton, and 11.34 feet at the New Hope-Lambertville Bridge. NWS forecasts that the river will still rise, following intense flooding conditions in Lambertville and Yardley last night. The highest water levels are expected this evening, after which point water levels should start to go down.

At least one tornadic event is also believed to have moved through Bucks County on Wednesday, with several possible tornadoes having hit multiple counties in eastern Pennsylvania.

Updates on Bucks County's hazardous weather will be ongoing.
