New Jersey Weather Alerts

There are a few alerts from the National Weather Service through tonight.

A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect until 9 p.m. and a flood watch is in effect through Tuesday morning. Any one storm could produce a lot of rain in a short amount of time. This would allow water to collect quickly in low-lying areas.

Please be cautious when approaching any street or road that is possibly covered with water. The severe thunderstorm watch has been issued because the ingredients for severe weather are present in the atmosphere for the rest of today. The strongest of storms could produce damaging winds in excess of 70 mph. Decent hail and lots of lightning. While the threat of a tornado is very, very low, it is not zero, so please heed any and all warnings should they arise.

Lingering storms through the overnight and into the first part of Tuesday. The rain is beneficial, but a lot of it all at once can be very problematic. Flooding could be an issue through the morning drive to work.

The remainder of the week looks fairly unimpressive weather-wise. The temperatures are expected to warm back up into the mid- to upper 80s, with a few neighborhoods popping at 90 degrees by the end of the week.
