The primary risks include localized flash flooding in low-lying areas, regions with poor drainage, and along small streams. Flood Watches are in place for northeastern and central New Jersey, where excessive rainfall could lead to hazardous conditions. Rainfall rates may exceed 1 inch per hour in the heaviest downpours, increasing the likelihood of flash flooding. Additionally, some storms may bring damaging wind gusts, posing a threat to property and safety. Residents in the affected areas should remain vigilant and prepared for rapidly changing conditions.
