Flash Flood Watch in Effect for Multiple NJ Counties

Showers and thunderstorms are expected later Thursday as an approaching cold front begins to move into the Tri-State area.

A Flash Flood warning was issued for several New Jersey counties including Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Hunterdon, Middlesex, Morris, Passaic, Somerset, Union and Warren County until early Friday morning.

A few stronger storms could become severe later this evening. They could produce damaging winds and locally heavy downpours which could lead to flash flooding in prone areas. The worst of the showers and thunderstorms look move out overnight, but conditions will continue to stay warm and muggy with lows only settling in the lower to mid 70s.

Despite a few leftover showers or storms before dawn, conditions will quickly begin to improve heading into Friday as drier air slides back into the region.
