Flood Watch In Effect For Hudson County: See When Most Rain Will Hit

HUDSON COUNTY, NJ — A flood watch is in effect for Hudson County from 1 p.m. Wednesday until 6 a.m. the next morning. As much as 2 inches of rain may fall during the day, especially in late afternoon to early evening.

As a result, the National Weather Service has updated its "significant river flooding" prediction map (above). They have also issued a Hazardous Weather Outlook for Hudson County.

The outlook says, "The Weather Prediction Center has placed the region in a marginal to slight risk of Excessive Rainfall for Wednesday and Wednesday night. The potential exists for mainly localized impacts from flash flooding."

Among high tides this week, the highest will be Friday and Saturday, making flooding more likely than usual.

Late last year, the map showed "likely" flooding, and several towns in North Jersey suffered from flooding. So far, the map only shows that flooding is "possible," but it may be updated later this week.

Here is the link to the map to check for updates, and below are links for up-to-date forecasts.
