Enhanced risk for severe weather Tuesday

The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has placed our entire area in a slight risk for severe weather on Tuesday. Furthermore, southern location and to the south are under an enhanced risk. There are very few times in a year where a portion of our area is in an enhanced risk.

The best time for the storm tomorrow will be the afternoon. It will be another hot and humid day with high temperatures in the upper 80’s

The possible severe weather is a result of a strong cool front that will be moving through. Wednesday looks to be a cooler and less humid day.

Humidity looks to return on Thursday so enjoy it while it lasts!

SPC Thunderstorm chances this afternoon and evening

Welcome to Summer! No it’s not officially summer yet but it sure does feel like it!

With the sudden warm temperatures comes the possibility of afternoon and evening thunderstorms. Today is no different. With the sudden heating of the atmosphere is resulting in some instability that could give part of western New Jersey some descent thunderstorm potential later on this afternoon and evening. 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

First heatwave of Summer 2016 will commence today. We will have at least three days of high temperatures at or above 90. To make it truly summer-like we will have healthy dose of humidity thrown in for good measure. That is one thing that has thankfully been somewhat reasonable this warm weather season so far. When it’s been warm the humidity has been reasonable.

Along with the heat and humidity will be summertime chances of late day thundershowers. I expect them to be quite isolated today but more numerous on Thursday and almost likely on Friday.

7day

And for those sensitive Wednesday will feature a code Orange air quality alert for western new jersey. This mean air pollution concentrations may become unhealthy for those sensitive.
