A midwinter storm blew through New York City and New Jersey overnight into Wednesday, leaving swollen rivers, downed trees and flooded roadways scattered across the region.
Gothamist is continuing to track rainfall and flooding data across New York City and New Jersey in real time using rain and stream gauge data from the National Weather Service, as well as flood sensors operated by NYU and Brooklyn College. The data will continue to update every 15 minutes through Wednesday afternoon.
Data updates are generated automatically and may not always align with official calculations from National Weather Service meteorologists.
NYC’s Central Park and JFK both recorded about 2 inches of rain, according to data shared by the National Weather Service.
Flood sensors showed mild to moderate flooding in coastal areas of the Bronx, Queens and Staten Island.
As of Wednesday morning, the Saddle River in Lodi, New Jersey, was experiencing major flooding, according to NWS data. The Ramapo, Pompton, Pascack and Hackensack rivers were also running high Wednesday morning, the data showed.
