The National Weather Service issued a Flood Watch through Friday evening and a Flood Advisory along the river.

“Given antecedent wet conditions across the watch area, sensitive streams and creeks will also be susceptible to flooding,” forecasters at the National Weather Service said.

The Delaware River gauge in Trenton forecasted higher river levels through the weekend.
