HUDSON COUNTY, NJ — Hoboken and Jersey City both advised residents to stay off the waterfront during the weekend's nor'easter, and are now digging out.
According to the National Weather Service, Hoboken received 2.27 inches of rain by Sunday morning, and Harrison received 2.02 inches. A spotter in Bayonne recorded 46 MPH winds on Friday night.
Hoboken endured some flooding in low-lying areas and on the waterfront at the coastal storm bore down.
More rain is in the forecast for Monday, with a coastal flood advisory still in effect until 2 p.m.
Hoboken officials had closed the city's waterfront walkway and four waterfront parks on Saturday and Sunday.
On Saturday night, Jersey City officials sent a message saying, "Flooding, strong winds, downed trees, and power outages remain concerns as the nor'easter continues through the weekend. Stay away from Jersey City's waterfront, including walkways and parks, until conditions improve. Strong winds and rising water can make these areas dangerous with little warning."
