The NWS has issued a severe thunderstorm watch for southern areas of western New Jersey. This includes Hunterdon and Somerset counties in NJ and Bucks in PA.
As mentioned earlier, it appears the worse of the thunderstorms will stay to our south. But that doesn’t mean that any thunderstorm that makes it to our area won’t turn severe so keep an eye to the SW sky…
Another round of showers and thundershowers approaching western New Jersey
So far Stewartsville receive 1/4″ of rain and on and off thundershowers. Another large area is poised to move into western New Jersey at this moment.
In looking at the wider picture, I’m starting to think all this activity in “round 1” may diminish the threat for our area this afternoon. We are not getting the warm up that was anticipated. This may result in round 2 staying further to our south.
Updates as they happen…
Risk of severe weather for western NJ Wednesday
The Storm Prediction Center has upgraded our risk of sever weather today represented in the map above. The entire western New Jersey area is in a slight rick of severe thunderstorm. However just to our south and west, there is an enhanced risk.
Round one of showers and thunderstorms approaching western New Jersey
There will be two main rounds of showers and thunderstorms today. The first is approaching western New Jersey right now as seen in the above map. None of these storms are currently severe but some do have lightening and heavy downpours.
Round two looks to come later this afternoon.
I would not be surprised to see our area under a watch today
