A line of the heavy rain is approaching the area. The main concern is that while the line is making steady east progress, it likely slows up just a bit as it crosses Central New Jersey, meaning possibly lengthier downpours enhancing the poor drainage /street flood risk (especially given any areas where leaf-clogged drains are an issue).
Along with this, winds which have already been gusty to this point can still reach 40 - 50+ mph in a strong shower thru the threat window (mainly 11AM - 2PM). Showers or areas of rain mainly dry out thru 3PM - 5PM, with a noticeable calming of winds after.
Please use caution while traveling this afternoon.
