The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has issued a * Flood Watch for portions of central New Jersey, northern New Jersey, and northwest New Jersey, including the following areas, in central New Jersey, Mercer and Western Monmouth. In northern New Jersey, Middlesex, Morris, Somerset, Sussex, and Warren. In northwest New Jersey, Hunterdon. * From Thursday morning through Friday afternoon * Rain is forecast to overspread central and northern New Jersey on Thursday. The rain is expected to be moderate to heavy during the late morning and afternoon. * Rainfall totals of one to two inches with isolated three inch amounts are expected. This will be the third rainfall event in the last week. Like the first two, the rainfall could be heavy at times and accumulations are forecast to be in excess on one inch. The ground remains wet and rivers and streams continue to run high. * The moderate to heavy rain will likely result in some roadway flooding along with flooding in areas of poor drainage on Thursday. Some small streams and creeks may leave their banks Thursday afternoon into Thursday night. Minor to moderate flooding could then occur along a number of larger rivers late Thursday night into Friday. The river flooding could persist through the weekend. * Please refer to AHPS for the latest. Confidence is higher that a number of forecast points will hit their Flood Stage. But with rainfall about 48 hours away, confidence is much less regarding any moderate flooding that is forecast. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on current forecasts. You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. If you live in an area prone to flooding, be prepared to take action should flooding develop. && $$ Kruzdlo
