We’ll finish our work week with a very active weather day today. Overnight rains amounted to about 1/4″ in the western New Jersey area. More rain is on the way today.

There will also be plenty of wind. Look for the wind to be in two rounds. The first round will have southwesterly winds this morning. Then once the cold front passes, the winds will switch around to the west and northwest. That will be round two this afternoon. It could be some gusts to 45 mph.

With a strong cold front in our area, we have the potential for some thunderstorms believe it or not. Most of the stronger ones should stay to our south but a few severe thunderstorm warnings have already been posted to our SW and the cells are not weakening yet.
