The NWS has issued a severe thunderstorm watch for southern areas of western New Jersey. This includes Hunterdon and Somerset counties in NJ and Bucks in PA.
As mentioned earlier, it appears the worse of the thunderstorms will stay to our south. But that doesn’t mean that any thunderstorm that makes it to our area won’t turn severe so keep an eye to the SW sky…

The severe thunderstorm watch previous in effect for today has been cancelled in NJ. Dryer more staple air has moved into the region and should not allow and *severe* thunderstorms to develop the rest of today.
There is a chance for some scattered shower especially to the east and south but most will not see any.
Tonight should actually be not too bad as dryer air moves into the region. We should expect a low in the upper 50’s. The real question is to turn off the A/C or not. Friday will be in the low to mid 80’s but not too humid but probably warm enough for the A/C. Same for Saturday but there could be some late day showers or thundershowers. Sunday right now looks to feature a good chance of shower – let’s hope so since it’s been so dry lately.
Let’s hope parts of western New Jersey will receive more rainfall today than yesterday. Stewartsville only received 0.04″ of much needed rain.
As you can see from the above map, the greatest threat will be to our north east. Some storms and showers may make their way into our area between now and 7 pm.
