New Jersey Faces Rain and Possible Localized Flooding

A frontal system is expected to bring widespread rain across New Jersey beginning late Saturday night and continuing through Sunday. Forecasters warn that locally heavy downpours could lead to flash flooding, particularly in urban areas and locations with poor drainage.

The National Weather Service said a broad area of rain is expected to reach the region late Saturday evening, with North Jersey facing the greatest potential for an extended period of rainfall from Saturday night into Sunday.

A warm front is expected to move north into the region early Sunday afternoon, followed by a cold front Sunday evening.

Humidity will build overnight as winds shift from the east to the southeast, with dew points climbing into the upper 60s.

The National Weather Service has placed the area under a marginal risk for excessive rainfall, though periods of locally heavy rain remain possible. Residents in urban areas and places with poor drainage should be alert for the potential for localized flash flooding.

Sunday is expected to be a rainy day across New Jersey, with precipitation likely continuing through much of the day. An isolated thunderstorm also could develop during the afternoon or evening. Check the local forecast.
