There are currently storms moving through our area and will continue into the evening. There have already been some severe thunderstorm and flash flood warnings. These storms are capable of producing very heavy rain and locally strong winds. If you experience any kind of severe weather, and it is safe to do so, please let us know!

If you’re around Saturday morning, Neighbors Investing in Childs Elementary is having a schoolyard playground clean up to prep for the East Point Breeze Neighbors and Neighbors in Action Community Cookout at G.W. Childs Elementary School.

An update to the severe thunderstorm forecast today. Thunderstorms are likely early this afternoon into this evening across our region starting from west to east. Thunderstorm coverage is likely further south towards Delmarva than it was earlier this morning. There are two main hazards with these storms: flash flooding and damaging winds. Flash flooding: Any thunderstorms today will be capable of producing very heavy rain which could lead to flash flooding. The highest risk for flash flooding is along the I-95 corridor in southeastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey where a flash flood watch is in effect. Urban areas and other areas with poor drainage are especially vulnerable to flash flooding. Damaging Winds: Some of the storms could be severe capable of producing damaging winds through much of the forecast area, though the highest risk for this threat is along and near the I-95 Corridor.

We're looking forward to promoting peace and uniting our community, during our annual Peace Week initiative. We will be announcing more events in the coming days. We must engage our community on every level.

Good Tuesday Morning Everyone! We will have one more hot and muggy day today. Thunderstorms are possible primarily this afternoon into this evening across our region. There are two main hazards that we are concerned about with these storms: flash flooding and damaging winds. Flash flooding: Any thunderstorms today will be capable of producing very heavy rain which could lead to flash flooding. The highest risk for flash flooding is along the I-95 corridor in southeastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey where a flash flood watch is in effect. Urban areas and other areas with poor drainage are especially vulnerable to flash flooding. Damaging Winds: Some of the storms could be severe capable of producing damaging winds. The highest risk for this threat is in central and northern New Jersey. Once we get to this evening, a cold front will be moving through the region leading to cooler and much less humid conditions.

The combination of temperatures in the lower 90s and high humidity values this afternoon will produce heat indices in the upper 90s for many locations. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible this afternoon and evening, especially for areas along and north of I-95. A cold front is expected to move through the region late Tuesday bringing much more widespread showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening hours. These storms may be strong to severe and produce heavy rainfall. Stay cool out there!

Here is a visible satellite image from 7:47 pm, with the sun beginning to lower in the western sky. If you look closely, you can see the long shadow cast by a cumulonimbus cloud located to the north of Scranton. The shadow extends all the way to northern New Jersey. The yellow arrows point to the shadow.

Early afternoon weather update: A band of moderate rain with a few rumbles of thunder is pushing out of southeastern PA and making its way through central and southern NJ and the northern half of Delmarva. This activity will continue over the next few hours before weakening and pushing offshore. There will remain a slight chance of showers through the evening, especially in areas that clear out quickly this afternoon.

Good Sunday morning Facebook Friends! Weather-wise, there are two things we are watching for today. 1. Scattered thunderstorms are possible primarily for locations north and west of the Interstate 95 corridor. Heavy rain and dangerous lightning are expected to be the primary threats with any storms. For the latest radar images, visit: https://radar.weather.gov/Conus/northeast.php 2. A moderate risk for the formation of dangerous rip currents continues today for the New Jersey shore and Delaware Beaches. For more information about rip current safety, visit: https://www.weather.gov/safety/ripcurrent

Good Evening Facebook Friends! As of 10:30 PM on Saturday evening, a line of thunderstorms was moving into NW NJ and the southern Poconos. This will continue to spread south for the next few hours. Heavy rain and wind gusts to 35 mph will be possible with the strongest storms. For the latest radar visit: https://radar.weather.gov/Conus/northeast.php

Long period swells from Subtropical Storm Beryl will continue to reach the coast of Delaware and New Jersey on Sunday. As a result, there will again be a moderate risk for the development of dangerous rip currents. If you will be at the shore on Sunday, follow the advice of local beach patrols. Do not swim in the ocean unless a life guard is present.

Chances for afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms returns Sunday and lasts through through the beginning of the week along with increasing temperatures and humidity. Widespread showers and storms are expected Tuesday as a cold front approaches the area, then pleasant and dry weather is expected for the end of the week. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

There is a Coastal Flood Advisory for Atlantic and Cape May Counties for this evening. Widespread minor flooding is expected in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways. The minor flooding should be more isolated from LBI north and on the DE coast. #njwx #dewx

Happy Friday! A dry start to the weekend will be followed by increasing temperatures, humidity, and chances for afternoon thunderstorms Sunday and Monday. A cold front is expected to move through late Tuesday, which will likely bring more widespread thunderstorms across the area Tuesday and early Wednesday. Have a nice weekend!

This Friday!

Minor flooding is occurring along our coast due to an onshore wind and the high astronomical tides associated with the new moon. There may again be some minor flooding around the evening high tides on Thursday and Friday.

Hope everyone is having a great Wednesday. Here is a look at the high temperatures for the area this afternoon. We are looking at a nice summer day, with mostly sunny conditions! There is a slight chance of a pop-up shower east of I-95, but coverage will be very limited at best.

This Saturday! Dawn will have recycling bins and voter registration forms too.
