Thunderstorms along a strong cold front produced damaging winds that knocked down several trees and power lines at the intersection of Nicholas Parkway and 4th Avenue Southeast.
The combination of heavy rain between 5 a.m. and Noon EST on the 11th and runoff from the melting snow produced widespread poor drainage flooding. It eventually led to flooding along the Maurice River two days later. Storm totals averaged 2.0 to 2.5 inches. The Maurice River at Norma was above its 4 foot flood stage from 230 a.m. EST on the 13th through 1 a.m. EST on the 14th. It crested at 4.10 feet at 830 a.m. EST at 830 a.m. EST on the 13th.      Storm totals included 2.50 inches in Newport, 2.12 inches in Millville and 2.00 inches at Seabrook. The heavy rain was caused by an intense low pressure system at both the surface and aloft that developed over the Southern Plains on the 9th. The primary low pressure system moved toward the Great Lakes on the morning of the 10th while a secondary low pressure system was forming near the upper air support over the Tennessee Valley. This secondary low pressure system continued to intensify and was located over North Carolina the evening of the 10th, near Philadelphia around 7 a.m. EST on the 11th and in western Connecticut early in the evening on the 11th. This secondary low pressure system helped wring the moisture in the atmosphere from the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean onto the region.

The combination of heavy rain between 3 a.m. and 10 a.m. EST on the 11th and the additional runoff from the melting snow produced widespread poor drainage and some isolated creek flooding in Gloucester County.

The Raccoon Creek in Swedesboro was above its 13 foot flood stage from 101 p.m. EST through 815 p.m. EST on the 11th. It crested at 13.31 feet at 315 p.m. EST.      Storm totals included 1.78 inches in West Deptford. The heavy rain was caused by an intense low pressure system at both the surface and aloft that developed over the Southern Plains on the 9th.

The combination of heavy rain between 3 a.m. and 10 a.m. EST on the 11th and the additional runoff from the melting snow produced widespread poor drainage flooding and creek flooding in Montgomery County. Storm totals averaged between 1.0 and 2.0 inches. Many creeks in the southeastern part of the county flooded. The flood waters also loosened the soil and knocked over several trees.Flooding along the Pennypack Creek affected Horsham Township, Upper Moreland Township, Lower Moreland Township and Hatboro Borough. In Horsham Township, flooding from the Pennypack Creek swept one vehicle from Blair Mill Road. A school bus became stranded in flood waters on Norwyn Drive. Four roads in the township were closed including Pennsylvania State Route 611. The worst property damage occurred in the Hidden Creek development near Meetinghouse Road as homes were flooded.

The interchange turned into a lake. Vehicles became stuck on the ramps. The Sandy Run Creek displaced a foot bridge in the Fort Washington State Park. Five hundred acres of rye was flooded along the Wissahickon Creek in Whitemarsh Township. Wissahickon flooding also forced the closure of several roads in Springfield Township.

Six wildfires blackened about 3000 acres of mostly brush land in inaccessible parts of western and central Molokai.  However, one of the blazes did briefly threaten homes in Maunaloa and forced the temporary evacuation of Molokai Ranch campsites.  No other homes or structures were threatened by the fires.  A helicopter, one of three helping to fight the fires, crashed about 1315 on the 26th of June.  The pilot of the aircraft sustained injuries, but they were not life-threatening.  Firefighters from Molokai and Maui battled the fires; along with Molokai Ranch crews that used heavy equipment to make fire breaks.
