Flooding is still ongoing along the Passaic River. The water is slowly beginning to recede, but it won't be until the weekend before the river is contained back within its banks. Unfortunately, there is another rain event for Tuesday into Wednesday of next week that could re-aggravate the flood issue again in that particular watershed.

TONIGHT: The coldest night of the year on the first night of winter - how appropriate. Lows in the teens and the low-20s under mainly clear skies.
