STORMY NEXT FEW DAYS

TODAY: Scattered pop-up thunderstorms and thundershowers expected 2-7PM. Some lighter rain showers fall beforehand this morning. The key hazards here would be for lightning and strong gusts. The chance for damaging wind is very low, but not zero.
KEY HAZARDS: πŸ’§βš‘οΈπŸ’¨

TOMORROW: Very high heat & humidity pop tall clouds and 'self-contained' thunderstorms that expand to clusters. These individual storms can rotate and produce large hail, damaging wind, and tornadoes. These clusters of storms can be problematic between 6-10PM. Not all storms will be severe, but the state of the atmosphere is conducive for them. The specific location of storms is not really possible to determine ahead of time in this particular situation. Noting the location of the biggest cumulus clouds early on in the day can be an indicator though.
KEY HAZARDS: πŸ’§βš‘οΈπŸ’¨πŸŒͺ️🫧

FRIDAY: A front sweeps across the state, which affects most towns. Damaging straight-line winds, downpours, and localized flooding is expected this time. Since it is much easier to track a front, we can anticipate most communities dealing with a wet late afternoon/evening. This front delivers showers between 5-10PM.

An important message from our New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness (NJOHSP).

The U.S. is hosting the FIFA World Cup 2026β„’, which is expected to be the largest sporting event in world history. New York/New Jersey Stadium (MetLife Stadium) in East Rutherford will host eight World Cup matches, including the final on July 19, which is projected to reach 3.2 billion viewers worldwide. More than 1.2 million visitors are expected to travel to the New York and New Jersey region for these matches.

Simultaneously, the region will showcase Sail4th 250 as part of America’s Semiquincentennial Celebration honoring the nation’s 250th birthday. The maritime spectacular will feature the largest international flotilla of tall ships and naval vessels assembled for a U.S. commemorative event. An estimated eight to 10 million spectators are expected to line the 15-mile New York/New Jersey shoreline to view the July 4th nautical parade. Communities throughout New Jersey will host additional public events in celebration of the anniversary.

These enhanced efforts align with NJOHSP’s annual β€œSecure the Shore” initiative, which coordinates heightened security along New Jersey’s beaches, boardwalks, and coastal communities from Memorial Day through Labor Day. The combination of major international events and peak summer tourism underscores the importance of public vigilance throughout the season.

NJOHSP emphasizes that suspicious activity includes behavior that appears unusual or out of place, such as unattended packages, unauthorized access to restricted areas, unusual surveillance, or individuals asking inappropriate questions about security procedures. New Jersey residents and visitors are encouraged to report suspicious activity through the following channels:

Call: 1-866-4-SAFE-NJ (1-866-472-3365)
Email: [email protected]
Online: https://www.njohsp.gov/seesay

Individuals can also report suspicious activity to their local police department.
