The National Weather Service released a flood warning at 11:59 p.m. on Saturday in effect until Sunday at 4 a.m. for Burlington, Mercer, Middlesex and Monmouth counties.
The weather service describes, “Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is expected for portions of New Jersey, including in central New Jersey, Mercer and Monmouth counties. In northern New Jersey, Middlesex. In southern New Jersey, Burlington.”
“Flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations is imminent or occurring,” comments the weather service. “Don’t drown when encountering flooded roads.
