Even though the above tornado watch is not in effect for western New Jersey, it is very close and just to our Southwest. This is an indication the atmosphere has the *potential* to have any thunderstorms be severe and produce an isolated tornado.

A lot of this will depend on whether or not we get any sunshine this afternoon to help increase the building of thunderstorm. Right now just to the south and west of our area sunshine is out and resulting in warming temperature which will help fuel the thunderstorms.

At this time, while any thunderstorm is possible after 4 pm, the most likely period of active weather is from 7 pm – 11 pm this evening
