Windy, Excessive Rains Late Tonight



Update at 3:07 p.m.Atlantic City now is reporting a wind gust of 39 MPH.
Wildwood now is reporting a wind gust of 30 MPH.
Belmar now is reporting a wind gust of 31 MPH.


East-southeast winds are picking up across New Jersey as the area of low pressure is strengthening and the gradient is tightening. Atlantic City now has a wind gust at 32 MPH in the past hour. These winds should increase every hour for the next several hours and probably will remain strong until a strong line of heavy thunderstorms (which will bring torrential rains) passes through late tonight into early Friday Morning.

Meanwhile, scattered areas of rain showers will fill in as the night progresses. The models are still indicating excessive rainfall late tonight and early on Friday Morning. The future radar, high resolution models shows this very nicely. You can see a nice convective type feature moves through around 2:00 a.m. Friday.
