HOBOKEN, NJ — With more than an inch of rain expected to fall in Hoboken late Monday into Tuesday, some evening fitness programs have been canceled, the city said.
The flood watch begins at 2 p.m. Monday.
Forecasters have said that 1-2 inches of rain could fall in Hudson County later Monday, with a downpour possible from 4-5 p.m. — just after the 3:54 p.m. high tide.
The city has said that low-lying areas can flood if the city experiences more than .8 inches of rain in an hour.
"The city’s flood warning system is prepped in case gates need to be activated," the city said in an alert on Monday. "Additionally, the Office of Emergency Management has placed barricades in low-lying, flood-prone areas, and North Hudson Sewerage Authority crews have been deployed to proactively clean catch basins and remove debris to assist with proper drainage.
"The city and OEM continue to monitor forecasts, remain fully prepared, and encourage residents to do the same. Residents should avoid flood-prone intersections and never drive through flooded streets or around barricades. Report flooded intersections or clogged drains to the NHSA Hotline at (866) 689-3970."
