Update #1:

Severe thunderstorm watch up for western New Jersey until 7 pm.

There is an initial area of thunderstorms in central PA. These may not hold together and miss us to the north. But they are helping to create more clouds across our area. If these clouds continue, they will not allow the atmosphere to be more suitable for severe thunderstorms.

The Storm Prediction Center has placed the entire area of western New Jersey in an enhanced area of severe thunderstorms this afternoon. This is the highest level issued for our area so far this season. The most likely time of storms will be this afternoon from 2 pm – 6 pm. I expect a severe thunderstorm watch to be issued at some point today for part or all of our area so stay tuned and keep an eye to the sky!
