Flood warnings remained in effect Monday as rain continued and high tide approached. See the above links to find out when the flooding will end.

The National Weather Service has issued a "significant flood outlook" and a new map that says it's "likely" that rivers and streams in North Jersey will flood during the coastal storm drenching the area.

The NWS map of the United States highlights northern and western New Jersey as areas to watch. See Bergen, Essex, and Hudson counties on the map here.

In Hudson, eastern Essex, and eastern Union counties, a coastal flood warning was issued for 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday, and a flood advisory was issued until 7:15 a.m.

Forecasters warned that Monday morning's commute would be "tricky."

Current forecasts call for another 1-2 inches of rain to fall on Monday. For comparison, as much as 7 inches of rain fell during Storm Ida in 2021, which took 30 lives across the Garden State — but that was in a shorter period of time.

Various North Jersey towns have sent out flooding guidance, including Fairfield in Essex County, which listed streets that may flood if the Passaic River overflows. By 5:30 a.m. Monday, a Nixle alert said that Passaic Avenue was closed due to flooding.
