Thunderstorms Move Across Central and Southern New Jersey

Update: Central.New Jersey now under a winter weather advisory

Update: The NWS has placed all of NE New Jersey now under a winter wx advisory for snow, sleet, and freezing drizzle late tonight-Thursday Morning.

Very strong thunderstorms...near severe limits...are now in Southeastern New Jersey. These storms look ready to cause quite a bit of hail, in addition to strong wind gusts. Thunderstorms have knocked out power to some in Southern New Jersey according to Atlantic City Electric. 299 people as of 8:35 p.m. were reported to have no power. The most were in Gloucester and Salem Counties.

Meanwhile, pea-sized hail and even sleet has been reported in areas from about Route 287 and Route 1 and points south with some scattered thunderstorms.

South Jersey Thunderstorms

Strong thunderstorms with pea to nickel sized hail is quite possible. Look at the line that has rapidly developed in South Jersey.

A few isolated severe thunderstorms with large hail (quarter sized hail) and even damaging wind gusts is not out of the question.

It appears frequent lightning may occur with these storms.

Meanwhile, snow and sleet is starting to impact northern portions of New Jersey again.
