***New Jersey at risk for SIGNIFICANT flash flooding. SHARE this post if you know someone in the risk zone.***

Significant flash flooding possible tonight across the state. A slow-moving cold front will sweep in this evening—and there is increasing concern that it may stall while dumping heavy rates of rain. Wherever it hangs up is where we’ll see the heaviest rain, with multiple inches possible in just a few hours. That puts everyone from Cape May to the Hudson on high alert for flash flooding! Be mindful: streets, underpasses, and low-lying areas can flood faster than you’d expect.

**Avoid flooded roads**—if you see water, turn around, don’t drown. Keep your phone charged, stay tuned to local updates, and share this to warn your friends and family! 🌧️⚠️

07/28/2025

Here are recent model runs for Thursday night into Friday. Trends show heavy rainfall potentially for the area. We will continue to monitor developments as they progress.
