PARAMUS, NJ — Heavy rains have caused NJ-17 northbound to become flooded at Carlough Drive, Paramus Police said.

A flood warning is in effect for Bergen County until 12:15 a.m. Friday.

"Flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations is imminent or occurring," the National Weather Service said.
