Additional showers and thunderstorms are likely through Monday evening across the flood watch area. Rainfall from these showers and thunderstorms could lead to more flash flooding, especially in areas that have already received heavy rainfall, according to the NWS.

The potential exists through Monday evening for some locations to see one to two inches of new rainfall in less than an hour, according to the NWS.

Showers and thunderstorms over the weekend produced very heavy rain and serious flooding across the region, with four to six inches of rain falling in some locations.

The Flemington-Raritan First Aid and Rescue Squad reported severe flash flooding in the southern portion of Hunterdon County, especially in a swath through Flemington, Raritan Township and Readington Township.

"While not the worst flooding in the area's history, the storm caused an extremely rapid flooding condition," according to the squad's Facebook post.

In once instance, the squad reported that a man was trapped in a vehicle in rapidly rising water, while another driver was unable to safely escape the flooded area. The squad's crews entered the water, pulled alongside the driver and helped the driver into the rear cargo area. The driver then drove out of the flooded area to safety.
