A BAND OF HEAVY RAIN THAT IS PRODUCING AMOUNTS OF BETWEEN ONE QUARTER

OF HEAVY RAIN PIVOTS SLOWLY NORTHWEST. AS OF 230 PM THE SOUTHERN EDGE
OF THE HEAVY RAIN BAND WAS LOCATED ALONG THE INTERSTATE 195 CORRIDOR
WITH THE NORTHERN EXTENT NEAR THE INTERSTATE 78 CORRIDOR. AS THE
AFTERNOON PROGRESSES, THIS BAND SHOULD LIFT NORTHWEST AND MAKE FOR A
DIFFICULT EARLY EVENING COMMUTE CLOSER TO NEWARK AND NEW YORK CITY

INTERSTATE 80 CORRIDOR BY 6 PM.

IF POSSIBLE TAKE ROADS THAT ARE NOT PRONE TO POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING
AND GIVE YOURSELF SOME EXTRA TIME TO REACH YOUR DESTINATION. STORM
TOTALS IN THIS AREA WILL AVERAGE BETWEEN ONE AND TWO INCHES WITH SOME
LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY IN MIDDLESEX AND MONMOUTH
