Yesterday was extremely hot in the area, the temperature in Clifton reached 96 degrees and would of hit the 100 degree mark if some clouds moved through during the hottest part of the day. Most places just to our south hit the century mark, 102 in Newark, 100 in both Trenton and Atlantic City. Severe thunderstorms did not occur here but in Monmouth and Ocean counties evening storms cause damaging winds with frequent lightning. Relief is coming our way after one more day in the 90s today but the humidity will slowly lower.

So today will be mostly sunny with highs in the low 90s, less humid by the afternoon.

Tonight, partly cloudy with lows in the mid to upper 60s.

Strong thunderstorms at 12:30pm are moving into the Poconos and will be heading toward our area. These storms are coming in a little earlier than I expected and should be in our area around 4PM. Damaging winds, hail, frequent lightning and heavy rain are possible. If you hear thunder take cover or maybe you can just fly a kite with key attached and see what happens.
