Northern NJ rainfall as of 8am

When it rains it pours. Or so it goes in Northern New Jersey this late Summer, Fall, and now the beginning of Winter. Seems kind of ironic as the Winter Solstice arrives later today at 5:23 pm we have record warmth and heavy rains. 1.21″ recorded in Stewartsville as of 7:30 am. More rain totals in the map above

More rain on the way

More rain is on the way today. It will be periods of rain off an on. Probably no more than 1/4-1/2″ in western locations but more will fall to the east. Most of it should fall in the morning but there could be some more showers later in the day and early evening.

Record warmth

And have you stepped outside yet? You should. Very warm and humid. Don’t usually use the humid word in the winter but that it is. So if your house is dry, open the windows when its not raining!

NWS rain forecast by late Friday

When it rains it pours as the saying goes. More heavy rain, and perhaps even some thunderstorms are in our forecast for the second half of Thursday into Friday morning. The heaviest period might be Thursday night into early Friday morning

the above map shows over 2″ of rain region wide when the storm is done. There could even be more than this, closer to 3″ in some parts of central Jersey.

Winds will be brisk as well, especially in elevated areas and closer to the shore.

I would not be surprised to see some small stream and river flooding as well.

The only good news is we will be on the warm side of this storm and could see high temperatures near 60 on Friday!

NWS forecast of up to 2″ rain Friday

The last thing our region needs is more rain. What I found amazing is we had a stretch of 9 days or so of no measurable rain. Then we receive an additional 1.5″ of rain and the ground is flooded just as much as it was 9 days prior. I think part of the problem is the ground was frozen so the moisture had no place to go.

Unfortunately we are going to have another windy rainy storm later Thursday into Friday. I expect this storm to be another over-producer. Right now the models are forecasting 1.5 – 2″ of new rain. I would prepare for at least 2″ of new rain if not more. And it could turn windy as well. There could be some flooding of streams and rivers. 

This is the last thing we need just before the holidays. I’ll provide more updates as they become available.
