More Storms Could Flood NJ Wednesday: See Latest Forecast

Wednesday will be a "rinse and repeat kind of day" for the Garden State as more storms prepare to slam the area, according to the National Weather Service.

The greatest threat from these storms is flash flooding. A Flood Watch has been issued from 5 p.m. through 2 a.m. in Hunterdon, Somerset, Middlesex, Monmouth, Mercer, Salem, Gloucester, Camden, Burlington, Ocean, Cumberland, Atlantic and Cape May counties.

"Another round of showers and thunderstorms are expected late this afternoon and into tonight which could produce heavy rain," National Weather Service forecasters said. "With an already saturated surface, it will not take much rainfall to result in flooding. Rainfall rates of around 2 to 3 inches per hour are possible."

Storms will kick off around 5 p.m. While the threat of severity will decrease as the evening goes on, the flash flooding risk will persist through the evening at least, forecasters say.

It will also be another muggy, humid day, though cloud cover will keep temperatures slightly lower than Tuesday.

New Jerseyans can expect this stormy pattern to continue Thursday and Friday, according to the National Weather Service. Locally heavy rain and damaging wind gusts will be possible again. And while some of these storms could be severe, the greatest risk will still be flash flooding.
