PARSIPPANY, NJ — Flooding continues to afflict low-lying roads in Parsippany on Wednesday afternoon as runoff from Tuesday night's storm pools.

According to local police, here's an updated list of closed roads:

Gov. Phil Murphy declared a state of emergency ahead of the storm going into effect across the state, which began at 5 p.m. Tuesday.

AccuWeather meteorologists even warned of "dangerous to life-threatening conditions" stemming from rapid flooding, downed trees, high winds and darkness Tuesday night.

If you see a downed power line, report it to JCP&L and call the Parsippany Police Communications Center.

According to forecasters, three rivers in North Jersey are expected to hit the "major flood level" stage, including one in Morris County. The Passaic River at Pine Brook is anticipated to hit the major flood stage and rise to 21.4 feet by Thursday.

Currently, the Rockaway River at Boonton Below Reservoir is at 7.76 feet, indicating moderate flood conditions.

"It is extremely important that the public pay attention to the conditions, specifically as they relate to floodwaters for the next several days. We are anticipating that floodwaters will exist in certain municipalities," the Morris County Office of Emergency Management said.
