PARSIPPANY, NJ — Turbulent weather has once again forced Parsippany to postpone its weekly summer concert.
Embers the Band was scheduled to take the Parsippany stage at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, with festivities kicking off at 6 p.m.
"Out of an abundance of caution due to tonight's inclement weather - and the logistics involved in safely setting up the concert, bounce houses, and other lawn activities - we are postponing this evening's concert," a statement read. "We know Mother Nature doesn't always cooperate with our plans!"
The threat of flash flooding and severe thunderstorms across New Jersey continued to increase Thursday, with the National Weather Service's Weather Prediction Center upgrading portions of the state, including Trenton and central and northern New Jersey, to a moderate risk of excessive rainfall.
The moderate risk area extends from Philadelphia northeastward into central and northern New Jersey, forecasters said. A moderate risk means instances of flash flooding could be fairly widespread and potentially significant within the affected area.
