While recovery is underway from the storm that affected our region last night, another storm is gearing up to affect our area Friday night through Saturday.

"Widespread flooding is occurring, and flooding will slow to recede through the week. Gusty winds will develop later today, and a Wind Advisory is underway for today. New rainfall Friday night through Saturday morning will exacerbate any flooding that would be ongoing, and new flooding is possible. Strong to potentially damaging winds will develop yet again Friday night," the National Weather Service said.

Several rivers experiencing moderate to major flooding, especially across northern New Jersey, will remain in flood stage through the end of the week.

As of Wednesday afternoon, the two most troublesome sections of the Passaic River were in the Pine Brook district of Montville in Morris County and the Little Falls area in Passaic County.

Both rivers are likely to rise above the major flood stage on Wednesday and Thursday and could remain there until Friday or Saturday, according to forecasters.

The Pompton River at Pompton Plains is currently at 20.38 feet, indicating it is at the major flood stage on Wednesday.
