The National Weather Service has issued a Hazardous Weather for New Jersey, saying rain and flooding could be “enhanced by fallen leaves that clog storm drains.”
Locally strong winds of 30 to 40 mph will be possible Wednesday afternoon and evening, especially with any thunderstorms or line of heavy showers. Widespread minor tidal flooding is anticipated with the high tide cycle mostly during Wednesday morning, according to the National Weather Service.
“A developing system over the Upper Midwest will aid in pulling this moisture up from the Gulf before pushing it into the eastern part of the country,” AccuWeather Meteorologist Tyler Roys said on the weather service’s site.
Rain will creep slowly north throughout the day Tuesday across the country, but the northward push of rain will persist into Wednesday, with rain reaching New Jersey and Pennsylvania by the early morning hours, according to AccuWeather.
Rainfall amounts will generally average around 1-2 inches across the Midwest and East, and should have some negative impacts on roadway conditions, according to AccuWeather.
