BERGEN COUNTY, NJ — Several days of rain have been predicted for Bergen County starting on Tuesday night, with more than 2 inches of rain predicted Wednesday into Thursday.

As a result, the National Weather Service has updated its "significant river flooding" prediction map.

Late last year, the map showed "likely" flooding, and several towns, such as Fairfield and Ridgewood, suffered from flooding. So far, the map only shows that flooding is "possible."
