Wednesday, July 9, 2025 - Severe Weather Alert

The National Weather Service has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for our area until 12:00 am Thursday.

A Flood Watch remains in effect for our area until 12:00 am Thursday.

Another round of heavy showers and strong to severe thunderstorms has formed to our west and will move into our area later this evening. Locations further south in the “watch” area have the greatest chance for severe weather; however, some stronger storms could make their way into northern NJ.

At this time, it looks like the rain should arrive after 7:00 pm and could be quite heavy at times, hence the Flood Watch. Rainfall rates or 2 to 3 inches per hour may be possible.

As always, I’ll continue to keep a close eye on the radar and will have updates accordingly.

6:00 pm Tuesday - Severe Weather Alert

A line of strong to severe thunderstorms is moving through eastern Pennsylvania and will affect parts of the Hunterdon County area over the next hour or so.

These thunderstorms are capable of producing damaging wind gusts, small hail, torrential downpours, and frequent lightning. A tornado cannot be ruled out.

The greatest threat for severe weather over the next hour will be across central New Jersey. The closer you are to I-78, the lower the chance for severe weather.

Look for conditions to improve from west to east over the next hour or two as the sun goes down and these thunderstorms weaken.

Tuesday, July 8, 2025 - Severe Weather Alert

The National Weather Service has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for our area, which will remain in effect until 9:00 pm.

In addition to the threat of severe weather, a Flood Watch is in effect until 12:00 am Wednesday.

Scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop and spread eastward through the afternoon and evening.

The storm environment will favor a mix of small clusters and line segments capable of producing damaging winds of 60-70 mph.

The best chance for thunderstorms in and around the Hunterdon County area will be between 4:00 and 8:00 pm.

Monday, July 7, 2025 - Weather Update

The National Weather Service has placed our area under a Flood Watch, which will be in effect from 10:00 am to 10:00 pm Monday.

Impacts: Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas.

Summary: The remnants of Tropical Storm Chantal will move into the Mid Atlantic this morning bringing areas of heavy rain. The tropical airmass will bring generally 1 to 2 inches of rainfall across the urban corridor but will have the potential to bring isolated amounts up to 5 inches leading to flash flooding.

The showers and thunderstorms will generally come to an end by 7 to 8 pm this evening with any residual flooding from showers today coming to an end during the overnight hours.

My take: Unfortunately, our area is susceptible to flooding right now due to our recent bouts of heavy rain. Showers and thunderstorms will begin to move into our area by early afternoon, remaining possible through the early evening hours.

I don’t think this will be a widespread event at this time; however, some of these showers and storms will be slow-moving and could sit/develop over the same areas for an extended period of time.

As always, I will continue to keep a close eye on the radar and will have updates likely starting early this afternoon.

6:00 pm Severe Weather Update ⛈️

A line of severe thunderstorms is currently moving through the Hunterdon County area. These storms are capable of producing torrential downpours, damaging wind gusts, and large hail.

These thunderstorms are moving in an east to southeasterly direction and will be out of our area within the next couple of hours.

Torrential downpours may lead to excessive runoff that could cause flooding, especially in low-lying and poor drainage areas.

If driving, please use extreme caution and do not drive through flood waters!

03/07/2025

A Severe Thunderstorm Warning is in effect for northwestern portions of the Hunterdon County area until 5:30 pm.

At 4:40 pm, severe thunderstorms were located along a line extending from near Saylorsburg to Rossland to near Lehighton to Hometown, moving southeast at 30 mph.

Damaging wind gusts up to 60 mph and quarter sized hail are possible.

Note: as these thunderstorms move closer to our area we could see additional warnings issued.

Thursday, July 3, 2025 - Severe Weather Update

The National Weather Service has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for our area until 10:00 pm.

Threat: Heavy showers and strong to severe thunderstorms. Torrential downpours, damaging wind gusts, large hail, and frequent lightning.

Timeline: 4:00 pm to 10:00 pm.

Summary: Scattered showers and thunderstorms developing to our north and west are expected to move into our area later this afternoon.

Short-range model guidance shows the potential for these thunderstorms to form into one or two lines as they move through our area.

The prime time for thunderstorms in and around the Hunterdon County area looks to be between 4:00 pm and 7:00 pm. The severe weather threat should taper off from north to south after 7:00 pm as the storms depart our area.

As always, I will continue to keep a very close eye on the radar and will provide updates once the storms move into our area.

5:00 pm - Severe Weather Update 🚨

The National Weather Service has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for western portions of the Hunterdon County area until 5:45 pm.

A line of severe thunderstorms entering western Bucks County is moving to the east at 40 mph.

Damaging wind gusts, torrential downpours, small hail, and frequent lightning are possible. A tornado cannot be ruled out.

1:00 pm Tuesday - Severe Weather Update 🚨

The National Weather Service has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for our area until 9:00 pm.

A Flood Watch will be in effect for our area from 2:00 pm Tuesday to 2:00 am Wednesday.

Heavy showers and strong to severe thunderstorms are expected to develop throughout the watch area over the next several hours.

The main concern will be the potential for torrential downpours that may lead to localized flooding. The rain from last night has left low-lying and poor drainage locations susceptible to flooding.

Total rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches are possible, with localized amounts up to 4 inches.

In addition to the threat of heavy rain, damaging wind gusts and frequent lightning is possible with any thunderstorm. Although a lesser threat, small hail may be possible with the strongest cells.

As always, I will continue to keep an eye on the radar and will update accordingly.

Tuesday, July 1, 2025 - Severe Weather Update ⛈️

Threat: Heavy showers and strong to severe thunderstorms.

Severe Weather Risks: Torrential downpours that could lead to flash flooding. Damaging wind gusts.

Alerts: Flood Watch in effect from 2:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m.

Timeline: Tuesday afternoon and evening.

Summary: A cold front moving into our area will bring another round of heavy showers and strong to severe thunderstorms later today.

Short-range model guidance shows isolated thunderstorms developing by early afternoon. Thunderstorms will increase in coverage by mid to late afternoon as a line forms to our west.

This line should move into our area during the late afternoon and early evening hours. Rain will taper off from west to east this evening, with a few rain showers possibly lingering into early Wednesday.

Torrential downpours are likely with the potential for 1 to 3 inches of rain within a short period of time.

Localized rainfall amounts up to 4 inches could be
possible.

Due to yesterday and last night’s thunderstorms, the ground is very saturated and runoff may lead to flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.

In addition to the threat of flooding rains, these thunderstorms will have the potential to produce damaging wind gusts and frequent lightning.

As always, I will continue to keep an eye on things and will have more information this afternoon.

Monday Afternoon Severe Weather Update ⚡️

Threat: Scattered showers and strong to severe thunderstorms. Torrential downpours, frequent lightning, and gusty winds are possible.

Timeline: Now (4:15 pm) through 10:00 pm.

Summary: Numerous showers and thunderstorms have developed this afternoon across parts of the tristate area. These showers and thunderstorms are very slow-moving and have the potential to create localized flooding hazards, especially across central NJ and southeastern PA.

The threat of showers and thunderstorms will likely continue for at least a couple of more hours before weakening. Another round of showers and storms may arrive from the west later this evening, likely after 8:00 pm or so.

Another round of showers and thunderstorms will be possible on Tuesday. Some of the storms may be severe with damaging wind gusts considered the greatest concern for our area.

After that, we’ll dry out just in time for the holiday weekend! At this time, the weather looks nice for our area with the next chance for rain coming later in the weekend or early next week.

As always, I will continue to keep an eye on the radar and will provide updates in the comments section on Facebook.
