Level 3 Flood Alert For NNJ to SNE and CNE

Real Weather Service has been mentioning for days the potential of more flooding with this system effecting the area starting today. That concern has risen to a level 3 alert for NNJ into SNE and Central New England where 1 to as much as 3 inches of rain is expected to fall across many of the areas that just got bombarded last week with heavy rains.

We started talking about this about 36 hours ago and talked about the potential to raise to level 3. I am glad that the NWS offices are now finally catching on to this threat.

I do not quite understand the need to wait until the event is on top of the forecasted area to issue the watches. This is one reason why R.W.S makes a difference. A step ahead at all times!
