As of Sunday morning, the creek and river in Lower Bucks County were below flood stage and expected to stay there.
The 2 to 5 inches of rain that fell Saturday led to the Neshaminy Creek hitting moderate flood stage in Middletown Township in the evening.
The Delaware River in the area of Bristol Borough and Bristol Township approached minor flood stage but did not hit it.

The rain caused street flooding that closed a number of roads, including part of Trenton Road near Bristol-Oxford Valley Road in Middletown Township, part of the Levittown Town Center parking lot in Tullytown Borough, and Green Lane in Bristol Borough.
The Neshaminy Creek level was the third highest recorded over the past year, according to U.S. Geological Survey data.
The strong winds that moved in starting the afternoon hours led to some downed branches and limbs.
