Active 48 Hours



It will be a very busy few days as several rounds of thunderstorms will be affecting the region. The first is currently in progress and will skirt Northwestern New Jersey late tonight with a short term damaging wind potential.

On Wednesday, additional thunderstorm development will likely initiate well ahead of the cold front to our west that will be responsible for incredible tornado outbreaks and damaging wind events in the Ohio River Valley southward through the Gulf Coast. The thunderstorms will likely be scattered in nature on Wednesday. Parts of New Jersey have been placed under a slight risk for severe thunderstorms by the Storm Prediction Center.

On Thursday, a more organized severe weather threat is expected as the cold front actually moves through the region. We are currently under a slight risk for severe thunderstorms. Damaging winds, large hail, and even isolated tornadoes are quite likely if the thunderstorms develop. Timing means everything and the models are diverging on when the storms roll through.
