HOBOKEN, NJ — After suffering from flooding due to two severe storms over the summer, the city of Hoboken sent an alert on Tuesday warning that there could be wicked weather ahead.
"The National Weather Service has issued a hazardous weather outlook for Hudson County through early Wednesday morning," says the alert. "Heavy rain showers are possible, with any intense rainfall of greater than 0.8 inch per hour may cause flash flooding in low-lying areas. Wind gusts could reach up to 40-50 miles per from 11 p.m. tonight through 8 a.m. Wednesday."
Parts of Hoboken tend to flood when severe weather events strike around high tide. (See the updated Accuweather forecast here.)
Residents should secure all loose objects outside or bring them inside, especially on balconies. Outdoor tents should be taken down depending on wind load. Businesses are asked to bring in any loose objects including tables and chairs overnight, if possible. Driving could be difficult, especially for high profile vehicles.
Due to the likelihood of flooding in some areas, the Office of Emergency Management is taking precautions by putting no parking signs ("No Parking Signs" in these areas should be taken as advisories, cars will not be towed) and barricades near flood prone intersections.
Please do not drive around barricades or through flooded intersections. (During recent storms, Hoboken drivers have gotten stuck.)
These intersections include:

The City of Hoboken will provide more information as the situation develops.
