Scattered Severe Storms/Areas of Flash Flooding Early This Evening…

Synopsis:

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is up for the entire tri-state area through 8PM. A Flash Flood Watch is in effect for Morris, Hunterdon, Somerset, Middlesex, Mercer and Monmouth counties until 8PM. If you encounter a flooded roadway-TURN AROUND, DON’T DROWN.

Any showers and or storms will taper off later this evening.

Any clouds will give way to mainly sunny skies for  Thursday- August’s debut. Friday will be seasonal with plenty of sun and right now the weekend looks decent as high pressure settles over the Northeast. There maybe isolated storms on Saturday but I wouldn’t cancel my outdoor plans.

Stay tuned.

Keep it here for a no nonsense, no hype forecast.
