Synopsis:
***TORNADO WATCH is in effect until 6pm for much of NJ*** Scattered severe thunderstorms this afternoon have the capability of producing a tornado. Please keep an eye to the sky and seek shelter immediately if threatening weather approaches. Flashlights and other essentials need to be ready if power is lost***
It will be a stormy Monday as a storm rides to our West and into the Great Lakes. Heavy rain and high winds are expected. One to three inches of rain is expected (2nd map). There maybe a lull in the rain for a few hours toward midday. Winds will gust between 50mph and 70mph (3rd map ). Power outages will occur with these wicked winds. I would prepare for possible outages.
There will be a brief break on Tuesday. Another round of showers is possible on Wednesday.
Thursday will be fair with cooler than average temperatures. On Friday, sun will give way to clouds. Spotty PM showers are possible.
Stay Tuned.
Keep it here for a no nonsense, no hype forecast.
