The NJ State Police sent out a warning about severe storms moving through the state this evening and tonight.
“Wind, heavy rain, possibly flash flooding. Don’t drive thru ponded water, turn around don’t drown.”
No watches or warnings have been issued for Hoboken or Hudson County yet – but be aware if you’re out and about that these storms were producing tornadoes near DC and southern PA.

7/28/2012 – 4:10pm: The National Weather Service has our area under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch (until 10pm) and Flash Flood Warning (until 6pm).
As of this moment, it appears (luckily) that Hoboken will only get skirted by the southern edge of the first line of moisture. Even though it’s high tide now – perhaps we’ll be spared the brunt of the storminess. Not sure what later will bring (See NWS statement below).
AT 357 PM EDT – NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED FLASH FLOODING FROM THUNDERSTORMS ALONG A LINE EXTENDING FROM STAMFORD TO RIVERDALE TO ORANGE, OR ALONG A LINE EXTENDING FROM STAMFORD TO BERGENFIELD TO MILLBURN MOVING EAST SOUTHEAST AT 20 MPH.
RAINFALL RATES IN EXCESS OF TWO INCHES PER HOUR ARE EXPECTED.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS…
EXCESSIVE RUNOFF FROM HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CAUSE FLOODING OF URBAN AREAS, HIGHWAYS, STREETS AND UNDERPASSES AS WELL AS OTHER DRAINAGE AREAS AND LOW LYING SPOTS.
A FLASH FLOOD WARNING MEANS THAT FLOODING IS IMMINENT OR OCCURRING. IF YOU ARE IN THE WARNING AREA MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND IMMEDIATELY.
RESIDENTS LIVING ALONG STREAMS AND CREEKS SHOULD TAKE IMMEDIATE PRECAUTIONS TO PROTECT LIFE AND PROPERTY. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CROSS SWIFTLY FLOWING WATERS OR WATERS OF UNKNOWN DEPTH BY FOOT OR BY AUTOMOBILE.

Potential for nasty stuff in our area through this weekend, according to NWS:
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN UPTON HAS ISSUED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR HUDSON COUNTY (AND THE REST OF THE TRI-STATE AREA) FROM 1 PM EDT THIS AFTERNOON (8/5) THROUGH MONDAY MORNING (8/6).
THIS AFTERNOON, WELL AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING FRONTAL SYSTEM – ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL PRESENT A LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING THREAT.
THE FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL THEN APPROACH THE REGION LATE TODAY AND THEN SLOWLY CROSS THE AREA TONIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING. AS THIS FRONT INTERACTS WITH A VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS OVER THE REGION, SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE LATE TODAY INTO TONIGHT. ANY THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO PRODUCE TORRENTIAL RAINS – WITH RAINFALL RATES IN EXCESS OF 2 INCHES PER HOUR POSSIBLE.
THESE TYPE OF RAINFALL RATES RESULT IN URBAN POOR DRAINAGE AND SMALL STREAM FLOODING. THERE IS ALSO POTENTIAL THAT INDIVIDUAL THUNDERSTORMS COULD TRAIN OVER THE SAME AREAS, RESULTING IN FLASH FLOODING.
THE THREAT FOR FLASH FLOODING IS EXPECTED TO END FROM WEST TO EAST MONDAY MORNING AS THE HEAVIEST RAIN SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY MOVES EAST OF THE AREA.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS:
A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT CONDITIONS MAY DEVELOP THAT LEAD TO FLASH FLOODING. FLASH FLOODING IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. YOU SHOULD MONITOR LATER FORECASTS AND BE PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION SHOULD FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS BE ISSUED.
