New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy declared a state of emergency due to the flash flooding and “high levels of rainfall in parts of the state.”<\/p>\n

“Please stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel,” he said on X.<\/p>\n

Slow-moving storms are expected to drop a lot of rain quickly. Rainfall rates up to 3 to 4 inches per hour are possible.<\/p>\n

Up to 5 inches of rain has already fallen in parts of northern and central Jersey.<\/p>\n

Vehicles stranded due to flash flooding have been reported in areas including Union County, New Jersey, and Westchester County.<\/p>\n

Widespread flash flooding was also reported in Lancaster County in southern Pennsylvania after heavy rain moved through the area earlier Monday.<\/p>\n
