The rain could cause localized street flooding and minor flooding along the Delaware River in Bristol Borough, according to forecasters at the National Weather Service.

As of late Friday afternoon, the river along the Bristol waterfront was swollen but had not yet spilled its banks.

“Do not drive your vehicle through flood waters. The water may be deeper than you think it is. You will be putting yourself in danger and your vehicle may be damaged … leading to costly repairs,” forecasters said.
