@LaurenceTobias1 @News12NJ Probably a few sprinkles. Most pass to your south. Best chances along the CT shoreline

[Mike Rizzo @Meteor_Mike]

Midweek weather will have you feelin' happy as a clam with warm sunshine with highs in the mid-80s and quiet conditions.

Rain returns Friday & Saturday.

💦 Meaningful rain is on the way with flooding & wind.
🌧️ Rain, wind, & possible flooding start around noon, peaking this evening with rain totals up to 2"+.
💨 Damaging gusts & a low tornado risk are present for NJ. Unsettled weather lasts into tomorrow.

🙃 High bust potential for THU's storms depending on cold front timing!

🌦️ TODAY: Mostly cloudy, stray pop-up t-showers & brief downpours.

⛈️ THU: Quick AM front = lower storm risk. Later front = heat/humidity triggering severe storms with damaging winds.

@News12NJ #NJwx

[Mike Rizzo @Meteor_Mike]

Muggy weather returns for Wednesday & Thursday! A front is expected to arrive on Thursday to wring it out for the weekend, though. So, its just a small fling with the juiciness this week!

@Meteor_Mike check out the rainbow around the sun.

[Mike Rizzo @Meteor_Mike]

Say "Bye Bye!" to the heat and humidity!

😎It’s going to feel incredibly beautiful today with a light breeze.

☀️Expect plenty of sunshine and highs in the low-to-mid 80s today and tomorrow.

Storms likely return THU, but enjoy this for now! @News12NJ #NJwx

[Mike Rizzo @Meteor_Mike]

Happy Sunday! 😍

It's going to be gorgeous today! Breezy at the coast. The UV is a high: 9. Sunscreen is a must, even with afternoon thin clouds! ☀️🧴

⛈️ T-storms roll through late (7PM-MIDNIGHT) with risk of strong & damaging gusts.
@News12NJ #NJwx

[Mike Rizzo @Meteor_Mike]

🥵RINSE & REPEAT: Highs are back in the mid-90s today with humidity.

⛈️ STORMY WINDOW: 4PM-11PM (Most likely 6-7PM): Models are inconsistent, but a statewide risk for damaging 60mph winds, downpours & lightning is there as a front passes through tonight.

@News12NJ #NJwx

[Mike Rizzo @Meteor_Mike]

@GrantMulvey82 @iDenville @News12NJ Storms were isolated yesterday, which means they're spaced out. Most of yesterday's storms were south/central NJ. No organization in this air mass, so it's hard to pinpoint the 'popup'-point, but the lingering clouds prevented storms north!

[Mike Rizzo @Meteor_Mike]

⚠️Severe storms this evening with some starting as early as 5PM, ending near 11PM

Main threats:
- Damaging winds (60mph+)
- Hail
- An isolated tornado can't be ruled out

Highs 94-98 (feels like 100-105)

When thunder roars, head indoors!
@News12NJ #NJwx

[Mike Rizzo @Meteor_Mike]

⛈️ Storms return with higher heat & humidity this week.

WED 3-6PM: Scattered storms, hail, strong gusts.
THU 6-8PM: Worst day. Fast storms, damaging gusts, downpours.
FRI 8-11PM (Timing can change): Storms clear out humidity for SAT (heat stays).

@News12NJ #NJwx

[Mike Rizzo @Meteor_Mike]

INCREDIBLE WEEKEND WEATHER
🥳Sunday rain chances have dropped!!! It's trending sunny and warm instead!

Just watch for a few leftover storms passing along and north of I-80 on SAT 7PM-10PM. A few storms could bring strong gusts.

There is still great uncertainty regarding the timing and intensity of the CMEs here at Earth. We appear to be dealing with at least 3 CMEs, one of which is faster than the others, so a combination event is likely. Keep visiting https://t.co/TV7Yw6LXRw for the latest.

✨ Northern lights in NJ tonight?
A G3 solar storm is possible!

WHEN: 8PM-1AM looking *very* low on the northern horizon away from city lights. Use a long-exposure photo to catch faint pink/green hues.

OTHER IMPACTS: Minor GPS lags possible during the day. @News12NJ #NJwx

Geomagnetic Storm Watch (G3) for Jun 04-05 UTC-day in effect.
