The National Weather Service is advising of a major storm impacting New Jersey this afternoon into tomorrow morning. Heavy rainfall of 1"-2" is anticipated for the area, with the potential for wind gusts up to 50 mph.

Residents and business owners are advised to secure outdoor objects. Travel should be avoided whenever possible, and caution should be used when on the roads. Avoid driving through low-lying areas and don't drive through standing bodies of water.
In the event of downed power lines or trees, residents should contact both PSE&G and the South Orange Police Department non-emergency line.
If there are power outages, the Village asks all residents and neighborhood associations and groups to do their best to check on any residents that may be elderly or have special needs.
