  • Northeast New Jersey: Eastern Bergen, Eastern Essex, Eastern Passaic, Eastern Union, Hudson, Western Bergen, Western Essex, Western Passaic, and Western Union counties.
  • Southeast New York: Orange and Rockland counties.

What to Expect:

  • Timing: The Flood Watch is in effect through late tonight, with conditions potentially worsening as the evening progresses.
  • Impacts: Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall could lead to flooding in rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone areas. Urban areas and locations with poor drainage are particularly at risk.
  • Rainfall Details: Moderate to heavy rainfall is expected, with rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour possible. This could result in scattered areas of flash flooding.

  • Avoid driving through flooded roads, as water levels can rise quickly and unexpectedly.
  • Be Cautious in low-lying areas and regions with poor drainage, as these are most susceptible to flooding.
