Hoboken Flood WARNING until March 11th
Do not park in the Hoboken Flood Zones!
Another round of heavy rainfall expected to torture residents
** Updated to Flood Warning for 3/11/2011 until 6:15am **
Just like on March 6th – when the city flooded quite bad – weather forecasters are suggesting more soaking rain is on our way for Thursday into Friday morning.
So do not park in the usual flood zones, OK?
“RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE THURSDAY INTO EARLY FRIDAY.
DUE TO THE RECENT HEAVY RAINFALL… MANY RIVERS AND STREAMS ARE AT HIGH LEVELS. THIS COMBINED WITH SATURATED SOIL WILL RESULT IN HIGH RUNOFF RATES WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR MODERATE TO MAJOR FLOODING. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION.”
Warnings and advisories in effect until morning… Newark Street mostly under water as well Monroe & 4th, and the Shoprite area – the usual suspects… Wind is not helping the situation.
FLOOD WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 1015 PM EST
HEAVY RAIN HAS MOVED OUT OF THE AREA… AND THERE MAY BE A BREAK UNTIL HEAVY RAIN DEVELOPS ONCE AGAIN THIS EVENING.
SMALL STREAMS WILL LIKELY EXPERIENCE RISES ABOVE FLOOD STAGE DUE TO RUNOFF. IN ADDITION… URBAN AREAS ARE LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANT PONDING OF WATER IN POOR DRAINAGE AREAS… POSSIBLY RESULTING IN ROAD CLOSURES.
BETWEEN 2 AND 4 INCHES OF RAIN IS EXPECTED TO FALL FROM THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING… RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANT FLOODING ACROSS THE REGION.
A FLOOD WARNING MEANS THAT FLOODING IS IMMINENT OR HAS BEEN REPORTED.
STREAM RISES WILL BE SLOW AND FLASH FLOODING IS NOT EXPECTED.
HOWEVER… ALL INTERESTED PARTIES SHOULD TAKE NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS
IMMEDIATELY.
Reports of flooding starting…
Flood Warning extended to 6:15am… a second round of rain on the way…
