As expected, Northern New Jersey’s Passaic River basin is experiencing major flooding. Some areas will approach historic flood stages which will result in widespread devastation. The worst will be near Pompton Plains, Lodi, and Pompton Lakes.
Elsewhere, many waterways are nearing flood stage. This map is somewhat misleading to those unfamiliar with how flooding works. Many gages are “near flood stage”, but many will see the waters go above flood stage as the runoff continues to head towards the waterways. Even some waterways not near flood stage right now will see rises throughout the day.
