New Jersey residents can monitor rising river levels in real-time
All of the major rivers in New Jersey are monitored by the National Weather Service using stream guages that provide real-time information of the water level. Flood watches have been posted for a large portion of New Jersey (list below) for Saturday. Heavy rains along with fast melting snow could push many creeks and rivers over their banks.
By clicking a dot you can find out how high the water is now and how close it is to the flood stage.

These areas could get 1.5 to 2 inches of rain, which could create flooding of creeks and rivers.
