Synopsis:
***Flash Flood Watch for much of NJ into tonight. Locally heavy rain may cause flash flooding of roadways and creeks. If you encounter a flooded roadway-TURN AROUND-DON’T DROWN***
A trough of low pressure over the Appalachians and a strong high pressure off the Eastern Seaboard will result in a very humid airmass originating from the Caribbean through today. The best chance of widespread rain and thunderstorms will be into tonight as this is the time of best forcing and convergence over the tri-state area.
By Thursday the pattern will finally begin to break down and a drier wind from the land will occur. An isolated shower is possible.
Friday and into the weekend should be mainly dry as high pressure from the West begins to take hold.
Stay tuned.
