...THE FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL MIDNIGHT EDT FOR SOUTH
CENTRAL MORRIS...SOUTHEASTERN HUNTERDON...NORTH CENTRAL MERCER...
SOUTHERN SOMERSET AND NORTH CENTRAL MIDDLESEX COUNTIES...

At 924 PM EDT, Doppler radar indicated heavy rain due to
thunderstorms. One to two inches of rain have already fallen in the
last couple of hours with multiple rounds of showers and
thunderstorms. This will cause minor flooding in the advisory area.

Some locations that could experience flooding include...
Somerville, Somerset, Middlesex, Bound Brook, Manville, Hopewell,
Millstone, Skillman, Flagtown, Belle Mead, Martinsville, Society
Hill, South Plainfield, North Plainfield, Dunellen, Raritan, Watchung
and South Bound Brook.

This includes the following highways...
 Interstate 78 in New Jersey between mile markers 37 and 42.
 Interstate 287 in New Jersey between mile markers 5 and 16.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Protecting yourself from immediate threats to life and safety shall
take priority.  Whenever possible, as long as it does not cause
greater harm, all COVID-19 protective action guidance should be
followed.

Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the
dangers of flooding.

In hilly terrain there are hundreds of low water crossings which are
potentially dangerous in heavy rain. Do not attempt to cross flooded
roads. Find an alternate route.

A Flood Advisory means river or stream flows are elevated, or ponding
of water in urban or other areas is occurring or is imminent.
