Synopsis:
***Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect until 9PM for Warren, Hunterdon and Mercer Counties*** A watch means we’ll “watch” the situation. A warning means its imminent. Severe thunderstorms have the following criteria: winds in excess of 58mph and or one inch hail.
Round 3 of showers, thunderstorms and heavy rain will occur into this evening as the last in a series of impulses rides along a front. Some of the storms maybe severe over Western areas. A Flash Flood Watch is in effect for NJ for an additional 1″-2″ of rain for later today. The ground is completely saturated. More rain will cause flooding. Please don’t drive through flooded roadways. You don’t know how deep the water is. Turn around, don’t drown.
The front will move through tonight and bring an end to the storm threat. Friday and Saturday will be rain-free with the sun dominating as weak high pressure settles along the East coast. There is a chance of shower on Sunday with an approaching cool front.
Monday and Tuesday will be bright and cool for the beginning of June.
Keep it here for a no nonsense, no hype forecast.
