Severe Thunderstorm Watch remains in effect for Ocean County, including Toms River, until 9:00 PM Monday, as a warm, moisture‑rich atmosphere fuels strong storm development across the region.
Storm chances continue to rise through the evening, with gusty winds, heavy downpours, and frequent lightning possible as storms strengthen toward nightfall. A few storms may produce localized flooding in poor‑drainage areas.
Conditions gradually weaken overnight, but showers and warm, humid air linger into Tuesday, keeping the region unsettled as another round of scattered rain remains possible.
Residents are urged to monitor alerts, secure outdoor items, and use caution on the roads during heavy rain bursts.
