Advisory

HEAVY RAIN / FLASH FLOOD WATCH

FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE TONIGHT...

PERIODS OF HEAVY RAINFALL THROUGH AROUND MIDNIGHT...

The Flash Flood Watch continues for:

* A portion of northeast New Jersey, including the following areas, Eastern Bergen, Eastern Essex, Eastern Passaic, Eastern Union, Hudson, Western Bergen, Western Essex, Western Passaic, and Western Union.

* Through late tonight

* A strong frontal system approaches this evening, with a rapidly intensifying coastal low tracking across Long Island and Connecticut this evening. This will result in moderate to heavy
rainfall. Much of the area will see 2 to 3 inches of rainfall with the potential for localized bands of higher amounts. The heaviest rain will exit the area by midnight.

* Flash flooding is possible along the faster responding small river and streams across the watch area. Urban and poor drainage flooding is possible as well.

Recommended actions:
A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.
You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action should flash flood warnings be issued. 128
