At 924 PM EDT... National Weather Service Doppler radar indicated
that heavy rain had ended... but flash flooding of small streams and
urban flooding are still occurring in the warned area. In Bergen
County... the hohokus brook at hohokus was still just above flood
stage... and the pascack brook in Hillsdale was out of its banks and
flooding local businesses.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause flooding of small
creeks and streams... urban areas... highways... streets and underpasses
as well as other drainage areas and low lying spots.

Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the
dangers of flooding. If flash flooding is observed act quickly. Move
up to higher ground to escape flood waters. Do not stay in areas
subject to flooding when water begins rising.
