Tropical Storm Chantal to Bring
Significant Rainfall to New Jersey

Residents of New Jersey should expect the possibility of thunderstorms and heavy rains brought on by Tropical Storm Chantal's leftovers this week.

Monday and Tuesday are expected to see temperatures in the high 80s to low 90s, with heat indices possibly rising to the mid-90s.

Particularly on Monday and Tuesday, the remnants of Tropical Storm Chantal will add to the humid environment, raising the chance of thunderstorms with locally heavy rainfall and some flash flooding.

National Weather Service Tropical Storm Chantal is predicted to rapidly wane as it moves north after making landfall in South Carolina at 4 a.m. on Sunday.

New Jersey is not predicted to see many severe storms, but isolated storms might produce powerful wind gusts.

Residents should have a strategy in place to take cover in the event of dangerous weather and be ready for unexpected thunderstorms.

With daily chances of showers and thunderstorms, the extended prediction calls for persistently erratic conditions through the middle of the week.

With highs in the mid-80s to low 90s and nightly lows in the low to mid-70s, temperatures are predicted to stay close to normal.

The extended outlook has considerable uncertainty, according to meteorologists, especially for the later part of the week.

By the end of the week, a possible cold front might move in, bringing with it a chance of further storms and a little drop in temperature.

Because southerly winds and rising wave heights are predicted through Monday, beachgoers should be mindful of the moderate hazards of rip currents. Always check the latest weather forecast.
