Oh the rain, it will continue...

Apologies to Hank Williams there. Yes weather fans, rain, sometimes as heavy as 2-3 inches per hour could fall today in some of these storms and could lead to flooding in "urban areas with poor drainage *cough HOBOKEN cough*. That is why a Flash Flood Watch in effect until Tuesday, 8:00 PM EDT for the Jersey City Desk viewing area.

You kids be careful out there.

Got a big old rain thing coming our way

Call it what you will, a storm, a front, a leading edge of cooler air, any way you look at it the Tri-state is under a flood watch through Wednesday afternoon. We could be getting over three inches of rain tonight with the rain beginning at about 3:30 EDT. Be careful out there and make sure your flood plans are ready to go. Gonna be a long wet night ahead.

Flood warning part Pi

Hudson, Bergen, Essex, Passaic, and Union counties are all under flood watches until 10 pm tonight as the rains move through Northern and North central and central northern New Jersey this evening. 1-2" of rain are expected and some areas could see as many as 4" of water falling from the skies.

The more rain we get the higher the Hudson River rises and the more planes can be landed on it. Just not Saturday night, Johnny is taking the Mrs. out on a water ferry boat (NY Waterway Tours and if Johnny doesn't come back ala Leo DiCaprio in Titanic please avenge his death) to sit under the fireworks as they go off. First time here for the Macy's fireworks means Johnny has to go all out and get you the readers here some boffo imagery and video of the big celebration of Henry Hudson's discovery of the river bearing his name. Plus, drinks will be served and boating and drinking and watching fireworks with NYC serving as the backdrop is well, pretty nice.

Flash Flood watch is in effect for Hudson County today

The Jersey City Action Weather Team in association with the National Weather Service (heh) is predicting 1-2" inches of rain today which could cause flash flooding across the Jersey City Desk reading area through tonight.

As always, if flooding does become an issue in your neighborhood, make your way to City Hall for a free canoe under Mayor Healy's "Free Canoes When it Floods Bad" program he ran on in the last election.
