Those in basement areas are advised to prepare to move above ground, and there may be road closures.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the ongoing weather alerts and conditions in the New Jersey + Philadelphia area, visit the National Weather Service&#8217;s website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weather.gov\/phi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>See More:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/newjersey\/new-jersey-fair-act-ai-rent-setting-ban\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Jersey Just Banned AI-Driven Rent-Setting Software<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Follow @thenewjerseygirl on&nbsp;<a class=\"broken_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thelocalgirlhq\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">Instagram<\/span><\/a>&nbsp;+&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@thelocalgirlhq?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">TikTok<\/span><\/a>&nbsp;for the latest updates on Hoboken, Montclair, Bergen County, and more,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.myflodesk.com\/xdt5qdr3st\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">sign up for our weekly newsletter here<\/span><\/a>&nbsp;that shares everything you missed each week, and check out our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/calendar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">events calendar<\/span><\/a>, which has over 100+ events weekly to peruse.<\/p>\n<div class=\"categories\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>forecastOnly a couple of weeks after New Jersey&#8217;s combination of storms, wildfires, and unsafe air, the state is being hit with another&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":413,"featured_media":226087,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[45,1,40],"tags":[43,11,12,50],"class_list":["post-226085","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-jersey","category-news","category-the-local-girl","tag-new-jersey","tag-news","tag-tlg","tag-weather"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.6 (Yoast SEO v27.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Storm, Flooding, + Tornado Watches in New Jersey This Week - The New Jersey Girl<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The New Jersey area is facing extreme storms with potential for flash flooding and tornadoes.
