Moderate to major severity flooding has been reported in North Jersey this morning. Minor to moderate severity flooding has been reported in Central New Jersey. Basically, the forecast on this site held true. A widespread two to three inches fell across much of New Jersey with less in Cape May and more in Northwestern New Jersey. I had put on the site a few days ago a map that showed the different rain amounts needed in six hours or less to cause flooding and much of the current area with flooding exceeded those needed amounts. Even portions of the Delaware River north of Trenton are approaching flood stage and some flood warnings have been issued for minor flooding.
Unfortunately, boats could be the method of travel at the end of this week for portions of the Garden State as another super soaker could be on the way. The latest 12z Models just in are indicating another two to three inches of rain possible Thursday Afternoon into Friday Morning. This looks like another potential wind situation as well with strong wind gusts. I’ll post more on this storm later tonight.
