When New Jersey Can Expect What's Left Of Harvey

Harvey shouldn't be destructive by the time it gets to New Jersey. But remnants of it could impact a significant chunk of your weekend (see hour-by-hour forecast below).

Harvey is not expected to bring widespread flooding or flooding anywhere close to the disaster in Texas, according to AccuWeather. But enough rain is likely to fall to bring urban and isolated flash flooding in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

After leaving its destructive path, Harvey will transition to a tropical rainstorm by Saturday afternoon, according to AccuWeather. A general 1 to 2 inches of rain is likely from the northern parts of Pennsylvania and New Jersey to Maine, particularly in the southern areas of New Jersey.

Sarah Johnson of the National Weather Service said winds will be light throughout the weekend when the storm makes its biggest impact and not exceed 10 mph. Much of the storm will essentially be a steady rain, with some downpours, she said.

On Sunday, more downpours can be expected, particularly in the northern areas of New Jersey, according to AccuWeather.

Here is the schedule of rain, and how much is expected fall on average throughout the state:

Saturday

• 12 a.m. to 7 a.m. 0.18 inches (about 0.44 inches in Cape May County)
• 7 a.m. to 12 noon 0.05 inches
• 12 noon to 8 p.m. 0.08 inches
• 8 p.m. to 12 midnight 0.23 inches

Sunday

• 12 midnight to 8 a.m. 0.17 inches.
