Yesterday we had flash flood and thunderstorm watches for our area but the severe weather bypassed Clifton as only .32″ fell mainly in early morning thunderstorms. However flooding rains occurred north of us with over 3 inches of rain reported in Ringwood and Oak Ridge and there was even a tornado warning for the Wanaque area. Even more severe flooding rains were in the Burlington county area with reports of more than 7′ of rain fell mainly in just 2-3 hours.
Today’s weather will be much quieter with only a low chance of a shower. With more clouds and an onshore wind high temperatures today will only reach around 80 degrees.
The front to our south will move to our north on Wednesday bringing back warmer and more humid air along with mainly afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms.
Thursday will be hot but with slightly less humid air and it is the only day with no rain expected this week.
Unsettled weather Friday through the weekend with showers and thunderstorms possible each day. High temperatures should be near 90 on Saturday but only in the mid 80s on Sunday.
