One of the areas in New Jersey that saw flooding last week is Little Falls, along the Passaic River.
The map above, obtained from this NWS webpage shows the location of the river gauge (the red dot). If you go to that webpage, you will also see a graph of river levels for the current seven day period. The graph shows recent, current and forecast levels of the Passaic River at Little Falls. Today's graph, shown below, shows that the current level is just above flood stage. The river is expected to crest sometime in the period from late afternoon Wednesday (3/24) into Thursday (3/25). Now, I got a graph (not shown here) last week showing that the River was at 11.76 feet on Tuesday, March 16. Still, this weeks flooding will only exacerbate the situation.
