New Jersey Braces for Intense Storms and Possible Tornadoes

According to the National Weather Service, destructive straight-line winds and large hail are the primary risks associated with severe thunderstorms that are expected to hit the Garden State late Sunday afternoon and evening.

Both isolated tornadoes and isolated flash floods cannot be ruled out, according to forecasters. According to officials, the optimal time for the strongest weather is between 4 and 10 p.m.

The forecast predicts for cloudy skies that will progressively turn largely sunny before storms approach, with a high of about 68. With gusts of up to 20 mph, a southwest wind of 5 to 10 mph is predicted.

The weather is then predicted to shift on Sunday night, with the possibility of showers and thunderstorms before 8 p.m., showers and potentially a thunderstorm between 8 and 11 p.m., and showers after 11 p.m.

With a north wind of about 5 mph, the Sunday night low is predicted to be approximately 42. There is a 90% chance of precipitation, with new precipitation quantities ranging from 0.5 to 0.5 inches. During the storm window, isolated flash floods cannot be ruled out, according to the prediction.

Since the potential of severe weather is predicted to be at its peak between 4 and 10 p.m. on Sunday, those who have plans to spend time outside may wish to closely monitor any changes in the weather during this time. The weather at the beginning of the next week is predicted to be cooler but quieter after that.
