At 4:28am Monday, the National Weather Service issued a Flash Flood Watch for northeast New Jersey, including West Essex. The Watch is expected to be in effect from Tuesday morning until late Tuesday night. The forecast calls for 2" of rain by midnight Tuesday.

"A slow moving coastal low will parallel the eastern seaboard on Tuesday, passing across eastern Long Island in the evening.
Heavy rainfall will spread into the region Tuesday morning
and persist through most of the day.
Rain will be heavy at times with 2 to 3 inches possible by the time
the event ends Tuesday night, with localized higher amounts.
The main impact will be urban and poor drainage flooding, but some small rivers and stream across northeast New Jersey
and the lower Hudson Valley may reach or exceed bankfull.
This same region received 1 to 2 inches of rainfall just a couple of day ago.
A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding
based on current forecasts.
You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible flood warnings."
