A Flood Watch is in place for most of New Jersey, as well as the Hudson Valley and Connecticut, through Sunday evening.

A sprawling storm system that has already delivered a cornucopia of severe weather hazards, including flooding and tornadoes, to the South has brought its energy to our area. Waves of heavy rain, strong winds, coastal flooding, and even some snow have been lashing the region since late Saturday afternoon.We've seen reports of coastal flooding and rainfall totals have been impressive.A few inches of snow have fallen at the highest elevations of Ulster County.

The newly fallen rain combined with saturated ground from recent heavy rainfalls, will keep flooding a concern, especially across the river basins in northern New Jersey that saw some minor flooding from the last storm. Final rain totals are expected to reach 1-3 inches.Winds will continue to ramp up, gusting between 25-45 mph at times. Highest gusts are likely at the coast. The saturated ground combined with the strong winds may topple trees.
