New Jersey faces an increasing risk for severe thunderstorms and flash flooding on Tuesday, as a potent storm system sweeps across the region. The atmosphere will be primed for multiple rounds of storms, some of which may become intense and fast‑moving.

Severe Weather Threat

Forecasters warn that scattered to numerous thunderstorms could produce:

• Damaging wind gusts capable of downing trees and power lines
• Tornadoes, especially in any rotating storm cells
• Large hail, with the strongest storms
• Flash flooding, particularly in urban and low‑lying areas

A Flood Watch is in effect along the I‑95 corridor, where repeated storms may drop heavy rainfall in a short period of time.

Safety Guidance

Residents should remain alert for rapidly changing weather conditions throughout Tuesday. If you hear thunder, seek shelter indoors immediately. Officials urge everyone to have multiple ways to receive warnings, including weather apps, NOAA weather radios, and local news alerts.
