SPC severe weather outlook for Friday

First off the good news is the rain has let up, for now. Stewartsville in western New Jersey has received just under 4″ of rain this week. Of course this pales in comparison to central PA which received in some sports 11″ of rain and has severe flooding going on still.

Today will feature most areas being dry but a scattered shower can’t be ruled out. A cold front will approach the area tomorrow afternoon. This could result in some thunderstorms Friday afternoon. As a result the SPC has placed all of western New Jersey in a slight risk of severe weather tomorrow afternoon. The greatest threat appears to be 3 pm on.

WPC rain forecast for next Tue thru Thu

After that the weekend actually looks good and mostly rain free! But don’t put away the umbrella just yet. The weather will remain warm and humid and rain looks to return to our area next week. The above map is a forecast for Tuesday morning into Thursday morning next week. Unfortunately one of the bulls-eye is in PA where they have flooding going on now. For their sake let’s hope this doesn’t verify or moves to a different area.
