N.J. weather: Severe thunderstorms could bring hail, flash flooding Monday

Over the next two afternoons and evenings, New Jersey is predicted to be struck by powerful storms that will bring with them gusty winds and heavy rainfall.

According to the National Weather Service, there is a 70% to 90% chance of storms on Tuesday and a 50% to 70% chance later this afternoon.

Additionally, AccuWeather.com cautions that hail is a possibility and that the anticipated storms will cause the evening commute to slow down on both days.

Temperatures will rise into the upper 80s to low 90s on Monday before dropping into the 70s overnight, making it another extremely warm day.

From midday until eight o’clock on Monday, Mercer, Gloucester-Camden, and northwestern Burlington counties will be under a heat advisory. It is possible for the heat index to reach 99 degrees.

Flash flooding is more likely to occur on Tuesday than Monday. Storms are predicted to taper off sometime between 7 and 10 p.m., although they remain a hazard throughout the evening.

Once more, the temperature will be warm, reaching highs of the upper 80s to almost 90 degrees.

With highs in the 80s, Wednesday should be sunny and pleasant. Although there is a potential of afternoon showers, Thursday will also see a lot of sunshine.

Forecasters predict dry, sunny weather with highs in the low 80s for Independence Day, so there shouldn’t be any weather-related problems.
