...FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH LATE TUESDAY NIGHT... The Flash Flood Watch continues for * Portions of northeast New Jersey and southeast New York, including the following areas, in northeast New Jersey, Eastern Bergen, Eastern Essex, Eastern Passaic, Eastern Union, Hudson, Western Bergen, Western Essex, Western Passaic, and Western Union. In southeast New York, Bronx, Kings (Brooklyn), New York (Manhattan), Northern Queens, Northern Westchester, Orange, Putnam, Richmond (Staten Island), Rockland, Southern Queens, and Southern Westchester. * From Tuesday morning through late Tuesday night * Rain showers with embedded thunderstorms out ahead and with Tropical Storm Isaias will move into the region Tuesday into Tuesday night. A total of 2 to 4 inches of rain will be possible with locally higher amounts between 4 and 6 inches. Torrential downpours with multiple rounds of heavy showers will allow for excessive runoff and therefore would cause flash flooding in low lying, urban and poor drainage areas. Some smaller streams and rivers may exceed their banks. 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.
