Anticipating Severe Flooding in NJ as Returning Storms Bring Inches of Rain

Expect Heavy Rainfall

As forecasters now predict 6 to 8 inches of rain to fall in northern areas of the state, get out your umbrellas and brace yourself for additional potential flooding in sections of New Jersey overnight Thursday and throughout the day Friday.

Forecasters predicted that the former Tropical Storm Ophelia will once more bring gloomy circumstances to the area, therefore the entire state is under a flood watch, a coastal flood advice, or both.
