A wave of low pressure formed along a slow moving cold front before rapidly deepening off the Mid Atlantic coast during the evening. With a tropical airmass being entrained into the system, rainfall totals across northeast New Jersey ranged from 2-6, with a CWOP site in North Caldwell reporting 5.20 and the ASOS at Newark Airport reporting 4.08 of rain. This resulted in reports of flooding across parts of Hudson and Bergen counties, with water rescues taking place in Hudson County.
