New Jersey is under a flood watch today, and officials are warning residents to be careful and pay attention to conditions.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul and her acting counterpart in New Jersey said they were declaring states of emergency for areas facing the threat of extreme flash floods forecast on Thursday for much of the Eastern Seaboard.

All flash flood warnings in New York have been lifted, and remaining warnings for a stretch of the Jersey shore are set to end later Thursday evening. Skies in New York City are predicted to clear through Friday as high pressure builds in from the northwest, with temperatures topping out around 75C (24C), the National Weather Service said.
