Weather

New Jersey is ready to bid farewell to Ophelia, with a temporary stretch of drier, brighter weather on the way.

As the remnants of Ophelia slowly pass through New Jersey, inclement weather and the threat of coastal flooding will extend into the start of the workweek.

The first weekend of fall will be an inclement one, as New Jersey braces for several rounds of heavy rain, 50+ mph wind gusts, and moderate coastal flooding.

The newly upgraded tropical storm is spinning about 400 miles south of New Jersey as of Friday afternoon, and will be a big weekend rain, wind, and wave maker.

Expect a wet, windy, cloud, cool first weekend of autumn for New Jersey, as a coastal storm system slides directly overhead.

First raindrops are still about 36 hours away, but an extended period of heavy rain, gusty winds, and rough surf looks likely for New Jersey this weekend.

While neither Hurricane Franklin nor Tropical Storm Idalia are expected to have serious direct impacts in New Jersey, they may still affect our surf and/or sky.

Heat and humidity will fuel a round of strong thunderstorms Monday evening, with potential impacts ranging from heavy rain to gusty winds to hail to a tornado.

Two rounds of thunderstorms are expected across New Jersey during the daytime hours Friday, which may produce flooding and severe weather concerns.

Heavy rain would be great, easing New Jersey's drought and wildfire concerns. Severe weather, not so much.
