Flood Watch Issued for This Afternoon + Free Career Workshops Today
Feasterville Trevose, PA · August 27, 2026
Keep an umbrella handy by the front door — calm morning skies will give way to fast-moving afternoon storms and gusty winds before dinner.
The Lead
The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch covering Lower Bucks County through this evening as a slow-moving summer storm system pushes into the region. Heavy downpours, isolated damaging wind gusts, and torrential localized rain are expected to develop around midday and persist through peak evening commute hours.
With ground saturation high from late August showers, local tributaries like the Poquessing Creek and low-lying intersections along Street Road and Bustleton Pike could see rapid runoff. Public works crews have inspected major drainage basins and cleared curbside grates ahead of the midday arrival. Residents are urged to secure lightweight outdoor furniture this morning and allow extra transit time heading into the evening rush. Showers should taper off overnight as a cooler front arrives to clear out the lingering humidity.
