Ida Remnants Cancel Fair Lawn Farmer's Market

FAIR LAWN, NJ — The remnants of Tropical Depression Ida are expected to bring heavy rain and flooding to much of North Jersey on Wednesday and Thursday, but it will also have other impacts.

For Fair Lawn, the storm has canceled the weekly farmer's market, officials announced.

The market will return next week on Sept. 8.

The National Weather Service predicted 3 to 6 inches of rain in North Jersey, with West Milford most affected at 6.24 inches. Forecasts for the Paramus area call for 5.73 inches of rain, while the agency expects Morristown to get 5.81 inches.

Tornadoes are more likely to develop in South Jersey on Wednesday afternoon or evening, according to the National Weather Service.

Numerous instances of flash flooding are "likely" through predawn Thursday, especially since the ground remains saturated from previous heavy storms, according to the National Weather Service. If rainfall predictions hold accurate, flooding is likely along susceptible rivers, creeks and streams.

The National Weather Service issued a flash flood watch for Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Morris, Somerset, Sussex and Warren Counties that lasts until 8 a.m. Thursday. A flood watch for Passaic, Bergen, Essex, Union and Hudson Counties is set to last until 2 p.m. Thursday.
