A slow moving low pressure system at both the surface and aloft helped trigger rain across Somerset County on both the 20th and 21st.  Two day storm totals averaged around one inch. But combined with already saturated soil conditions and heavier rain in Hunterdon and Morris Counties, flooding occurred along parts of the branches of the Raritan River and sections of the Millstone River. The North Branch of the Raritan River at South Branch touched its 6.9 foot flood stage at Midnight EDT on the 22nd. Flooding was also reported along low lying sections of the South Branch of the Raritan River and caused some road closures. The Millstone River at Griggstown was above its 10 foot flood stage from 320 p.m. EDT on the 21st through 818 p.m. EDT on the 22nd. It crested at 11.3 feet at 5 a.m. EDT on the 22nd. The Griggstown Causeway was closed.  The low pressure system responsible for the heavy rain formed along a stationary front over the Carolinas during the morning of the 20th. It moved to just east of Wallops Island, Virginia during the evening of the 20th and well east of the Delmarva Peninsula during the morning of the 21st. An inverted trough at the surface that extended from the low westward into Northern New Jersey and Northeast Pennsylvania concentrated the heavy rain along its axis. On the 21st, the heaviest rain fell from the afternoon into the early evening.June as a whole was an unseasonably wet month. On a county weighted average, June monthly precipitation totals averaged 8.7 inches in Somerset County. Normal is around 3.5 inches. Somerset County was not alone in New Jersey with the wet weather. The preliminary statewide June monthly precipitation average was 8.51 inches, 4.72 inches wetter than normal. This would surpass June 1972 as the wettest June on record since 1895. Monthly precipitation totals included 7.54 inches at Mercer County Airport and 6.99 inches at the Atlantic City International Airport. The wet spring weather led to a whole different set of problems from the drought of the previous year. Planted seeds were drowning and rotting. Many soybean, corn and berry fields were too wet. There were also problems with slugs. Vegetables were generally about a month behind. Double crop fields fell behind schedule because of the slow growth of straw and hay. Garden shops sales have been down. Pool installations were about three to six weeks behind. Ant infestations increased. Windshield wipers were tearing. Many spring athletic seasons were extended because of postponed events. There will be a bumper crop of mosquitoes. Attendance along the shore and at amusement parks was down. Road work was delayed. The one few positives from the wet weather was lower utility bills.
