It was moving northwest at about 20 miles per hour...and this motion should continue today with a gradual turn to the north tonight. the storm will move along the middle atlantic coast saturday and saturday night. It is expected to bring 3 to 7 inches of rain to the watch area from late friday night into saturday night. These rainfall totals have the potential to produce flooding across the area. The highest amounts are expected in pennsylvania and new jersey. * in the flood watch area...roads and poor drainage areas may become flooded. Also...small creeks and streams may run high or go out of their banks with this event. You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible flood warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to move to higher ground should flooding develop. Anyone driving who encounters a flooded roadway should not try to drive across it. Find an alternate route.

Well, I hate to see it, but we need the rain, it hasn't rain in quite a while and stuff is looking helluva brown lately. But, everyone, if you have to go outside & drive, drive carefully.

so, we haven't had weather like this in what? 2 months? and hanna decides to make her presence the ONE DAY I have an outdoor activity?

We WERE going to the Union County Music Fest to see the B52's and Gin Blossoms (amongst others) but can't now that the world is going to end. Rain place is Kean, no thanks.

Stay safe everyone - looks like a chair rail moulding and decorative box installation day.

No plans for us.. but it could help with the open house on Sunday - everyone will be wanting to get out if they are cooped up all day on Saturday!

I don't mind it, as long as everyone is safe. We need the rain for sure and a (hopeful) break in humidity.

However, I'm laughing at wiley's post because the news may as well have summed it all up by saying "Floods up entire East Coast to NJ, board your windows and watch your a$$e$". LOL

I'm just glad it is going to rid us of the 90 degree heat...for now.

Looks like my sump pumps will get a good workout this weekend. Luckily the nearest river (South Branch of the Raritan) is about 50 feet below me.
