Potential Hurricane Heading to US: Will it Affect New Jersey?
According to the most recent data, a strong tropical cyclone that experts think could develop into a hurricane might provide much-needed rain to New Jersey this week.
Based on statistics from the National Weather Service, September has been exceptionally dry in the Garden State. According to the data, certain parts of the state are expected to have one of the driest Septembers ever recorded.
Following a cloudy Tuesday, the National Weather Service indicated in their daily forecast discussion that Wednesday and Thursday in New Jersey will be "a bit unsettled" as a storm system from the Great Lakes reaches the region and offers some "much needed rainfall."
However, not everyone will experience precipitation. According to the National Weather Service, showers will be more dispersed and intense to the farther southeast and will be strongest and longest northwest of the urban corridor.
Forecasters from the National Weather Service stated, "In fact, the coast may not see anything."
Depending on how what analysts think will become Hurricane Helene behaves, the outlook by Friday could be a little more hazy.
"There is some risk that the eventual Helene will throw some moisture northward to give quite a wet late-week period to the East Coast, but this is currently not the favored outcome, as it may end up more likely that another storm over the Mississippi Valley can capture the eventual tropical feature and pull its moisture in that direction instead," La Troy Thornton, an AccuWeather meteorologist, said.
There was a 20 to 30 percent chance of rain for late Friday into Saturday and Sunday, according to the National Weather Service.
Later in the week, forecasters will have a better notion of what to expect.
