Very Heavy Rains Moving In, Power Outages Reported

Several thousand people throughout the evening have lost power. There are still power outages being reported by Atlantic City Electric and Public Service Electric and Gas. Earlier, Jersey Central Power and Light was reporting a couple thousand without electric, but the number has come down. Wind gusts past 45 MPH were reported along the coastline.

Meanwhile, a band of heavy rain has setup across New Jersey. Of more concern is an area of heavy rain moving north-northeast from Southern Maryland which will likely produce up to an inch in a short period of time in portions of New Jersey.

Numerous flood warnings have been issued for New Jersey.
