Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA slow moving low pressure system that moved from the Gulf of Mexico caused heavy rain to fall during about an eight to twelve hour period on the 8th in New Jersey. Storm totals averaged between 2 and 3 inches. The heavy rain caused urban and poor drainage flooding. The flooding was exacerbated by fallen leaves that clogged catch basins. The heavy rain also caused flooding along some of the creeks and rivers in central and northern New Jersey. Rain began falling during the evening on the 7th in southern New Jersey and spread into northern New Jersey by shortly after Midnight EST on the 8th. The rain fell heavy at times from about 3 a.m. EST through 3 p.m. EST in the southern part of the state and from about 8 a.m. EST through 4 p.m. EST in the northern part of the state. The rain ended from south to north during the evening of the 8th. | |The heavy rain was caused by a low pressure system which formed in the Gulf of Mexico on the 6th and merged with an approaching cold front on the morning of the 7th. It then moved slowly northeast. The low pressure system reached Savannah, Georgia at 7 p.m. EST on the 7th, Elizabeth City, North Carolina at 7 a.m. EST on the 8th, was about 100 miles east of Atlantic City, New Jersey at 7 p.m. EST on the 8th and in the Gulf of Maine at 7 a.m. EST on the 9th.
