A line of nasty weather is emerging from western New York tonight, heading for New Jersey. Some of the stronger cells could be severe. Make sure your devices are charged before going to bed. Outages could be possible. More rain could tip the flooding scales and not in our favor.

Tonight is overcast and humid. Showers and storms will march through after midnight and will hopefully be moving away from the area right around daybreak. More rain could create some flooding issues for Thursday morning. Destructive winds could mean you may have to navigate a different route to work or school. Allow yourself extra time in the routine for potential delays.


The weather will finally settle starting Thursday afternoon. Skies will be partly cloudy. The air is still very humid. Temperatures will make a run into the mid to possibly upper 80s. It will feel like it is in the mid-90s. THAT is the temperature you need to prepare for. As a result, the National Weather Service has issued a heat alert for a few counties.


Friday will also feel much warmer because of the lingering humidity and afternoon highs reaching into the mid-80s. At the moment, I don't see an opportunity for any storms to develop during the time frame. We are going to sail into the holiday weekend on a gentle breeze, calm seas and comfortably warm temperatures.
