Downpours and lightning are creating major problems across parts of New Jersey this morning.

A flash flood warning is in effect for parts of Monmouth and Ocean counties until 11 a.m. as heavy rain causes rapid flooding.

Nearly 1 to 2 inches of rain has already fallen, with rainfall rates continuing at up to 1.5 to 2.5 inches per hour.

Drivers should avoid flooded roads and never attempt to drive through water.
