Potential storms in the area for today, keep an eye on local channels. Be prepared!

** SEVERE WEATHER RISK TODAY**

There has been an uptick in the severe potential for this afternoon. A cold front will pose a risk for severe weather this afternoon and evening, with a risk now across the entire state. Ahead of the front, there will be a lot of instability and wind shear. This will allow for the risk of multiple storm clusters and even some damaging wind segments to develop, especially with any prolonged sunshine tomorrow, allowing for decent instability. A few of these storms could also have hail up to quarter-sized or larger. The best risk is for cities such as Pittsburgh, State College, Harrisburg, and Allentown. I am watching the risk for a longer-lived wind segment, but confidence remains uncertain at the moment.

BEST TIMING: STAY TUNED FOR A CITY-BY-CITY TIMING OUTLOOK AT 9AM.

NOTE: The isolated/scattered coverage wording is for the severe weather outlook. While the strong storm coverage is only isolated and scattered, the chance of seeing rain or thunder is higher than the chance of experiencing severe weather.

(ZONE 2, RED): Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms are expected. The strongest storms may pack wind gusts of 60 - 70 mph with hail up to quarter-sized. A tornado is very unlikely. Non-severe impacts may include torrential downpours and lightning.

(ZONE 1, YELLOW): Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are expected. The strongest storms may pack wind gusts of 55 - 65 mph. A tornado is very unlikely and not expected. Non-severe impacts may include torrential downpours and lightning.

Keep in mind, severe weather does not impact every house or neighborhood. Unless it is a large outbreak, severe weather impacts will differ even across small areas. It is always good to be prepared by having multiple ways of receiving severe weather alerts and a shelter to take cover in when severe weather strikes.

If you have any questions/concerns, feel free to reach out!

There has been a water main break in the Town of Phillipsburg on the border of Pohatcong Township. This is believed to impact water service to the Parkside area of Pohatcong Township. Due to the break, residents may experience discolored water as well as intermittent service disruptions while repairs are completed. Aqua New Jersey is aware of the issue and is working to fix it.
