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.

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.

Happy Tuesday all! We are looking at a quiet forecast today with temperatures in the upper 80s to low 90s. If you are headed to the beach, note that there is moderate risk for dangerous rip currents along the Delaware and New Jersey shores. Wave heights from 2-4 feet with longer periods due in part to Tropical Storm Chris off the North Carolina Coast will likely develop stronger rip currents. Know the signs to help spot dangerous rip currents and enjoy a safe day at the beach. To view the forecast for your beach and to learn more visit our beach forecast page: https://www.weather.gov/beach/phi.

Here's a quick look at Tropical Storm Chris. Chris is expected to become a Category 1 hurricane later today, but is NOT expected to directly impact our area weather-wise as it begins moving away from the coast to the northeast over the next couple of days. However, Chris will cause a significant rip current threat over the next few days in addition to high surf, rough waters, and increased swells.
