SPC has placed all of western New Jersey in a slight risk
The Storm Prediction Center has upgraded all of western New Jersey to a slight risk of severe thunderstorms this afternoon. The primary threat will be wind, rain and possibly small hail.
There is a line of storms in western PA heading in our direction now. If any storm or showers survive, they could impact our area by late morning. Otherwise look for additional storms mid to late afternoon.
SPC thunderstorm outlook for today
Scattered showers and thundershowers moved through western New Jersey later yesterday afternoon and evening. Stewartsville recorded 0.03″ of rain.
While today’s high temperature may not hit 90 like yesterday, the increased humidity will make it feel more uncomfortable.
As you can see in the map above, there is an increased chance over yesterday of some thunderstorms later this afternoon and evening. After 4 pm looks to be the starting time.
If you’re not a fan of extreme heat so early in the warm weather season good news is the weekend will feature closer to seasonable temperatures. 70’s for Saturday and 60’s for Sunday.
SPC Thunderstorm chances this afternoon and evening
Welcome to Summer! No it’s not officially summer yet but it sure does feel like it!

The best chances are further to the north as seen in the map above.
Friday will be a rinse and repeat of today with perhaps even stronger chances of thunderstorms in the afternoon
