The National Weather Services has issued a Hazardous Weather Outlook and High Wind Watch for Monday, April 13, 2020. Between 1 to 2 inches of rainfall are possible. Any intense rainfall of greater than 0.8 inch per hour may result in flash flooding in low-lying areas. Wind gusts are expected to exceed 50 MPH, and isolated wind gusts could potentially reach 65 MPH.
Damaging winds could blow down trees and power lines, resulting in power outages. Please report power outages and downed wires to PSEG at https://nj.myaccount.pseg.com/myservicepublic/outagepublic.
