Flash flooding is a problem for today's weather as a stormy set up pushes across the state through the midday. Rainfall rates of 1-3" per hour will be expected in some cells that pop up between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. The worst of the weather looks to hit in the afternoon and evening for northern New Jersey where significant flash flooding is possible. Up to 3 to 4 inches of rainfall is possible at the upper thresholds if storms repeat in the same areas. Rain has more coverage today than yesterday. Some storms may be strong with damaging gusts, but this is not a primary threat. As a result, a Flood Watch is in effect until 8 p.m.
Some storms return tomorrow afternoon and evening, but not the same intensity as today. Conditions gradually improve through Thursday with some small spotty showers under a partly cloudy sky.
The weather is expected to improve by the weekend with fair conditions for Saturday and Sunday.
