The National Weather Service has issued a flood advisory for Hudson County, including Hoboken, until 9:15 p.m. A flood warning remains in effect through midnight. Flooding caused by excessive rain is expected in poor draining and low-lying areas.
Flood pumps are operational, and the Office of Emergency Management (OEM) has deployed barricades in flood prone areas.

Do not drive around barricades.
