Flash flood watch expands to 18 counties. Nor’easter could dump up to 4 inches of rain.
A flash flood watch for New Jersey has been extended to 18 counties as the state braces for a nor’easter storm with severe thunderstorms and damaging winds that could deliver up to 4 inches of rain between Monday night and Tuesday afternoon.
The nearly statewide flash flood watch (all counties except Cumberland, Gloucester and Salem) runs from 8 p.m. Monday until 5 p.m. Tuesday, the National Weather Service said. It’s still expected to rain in the South Jersey counties not under the watch, though. Camden County was added to the watch Monday afternoon.
