New Jersey Weather Alerts

Today brings a chance of showers and thunderstorms, with a downpour potentially causing brief street flooding and/or flash flooding. Any severe storm brings the risk of damaging winds, hail, and an isolated tornado, especially mid-afternoon today. Seek shelter if a tornado warning is issued and do not drive through flooded roads!

Lingering showers tonight with wet roads and puddles leftover for the Friday morning commute. Leave a little extra time in the morning routine to deal with any slowdowns. The end of the week won't be a washout. Clouds will mix with sun. There is a small chance an afternoon shower might appear. Any storm that develops would be brief and inconsequential.

Saturday and Sunday will be very nice. More sun than clouds and afternoon temperatures reaching into the low to mid-80s

Bottom line: Keep the umbrella handy Thursday and Friday. Sunshine carries us through Saturday and Sunday.
