Pleasantly warm day today followed by quite stormy weather on Thursday!


With plenty of sunshine today we will warm up into the 80s although it will be a little breezy.

South of the track of the low across Central and Southern New Jersey there is a good chance of severe weather with strong damaging winds, large hail and even a chance of a tornado or two.
Conditions improve on Friday but it will be a quite windy day.
Beautiful weather on Saturday and a good portion of Father’s Day although rain chance increase late in the day on Sunday.
More chances of showers early next week.
