Severe Thunderstorm Watch this afternoon and evening, Monday July 18th

The NWS has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for most of New Jersey. Thunderstorms will continue to develop and move through the area for the rest of the day. Any storm could present with strong gusty winds, lightening, and hail.

A Watch indicates that conditions exist for a weather event to happen. Please keep an eye on any alerts from your weather app or the NWS for a storm Warning, which would mean a severe storm is in the area or immanent. As always, please don't depend on me for timely warnings.

There's a whopper going on north of us right now.  Check out this lightening map:


I heard thunder, and checked lightning maps. That is nuts!


I've never felt humidity as oppressive as today's.  Yuck.


Haven't felt humidity like this since my trip to Hong Kong. 


Just got a flash flood warning on my phone.


Why does the rain keep missing us?
