I have chased tornadoes in the Southern Plains. I have chased storms in New Jersey. Even for trained spotters, one locale is way more challenging and dangerous.
Outdoor events were canceled all over New Jersey this weekend, as a powerful coastal storm system drove in nasty conditions — rain, wind, and coastal flooding.
This weekend's super soaker storm system is still in the neighborhood, keeping occasional gusty winds and coastal flooding in the forecast for a few more days.
Weather conditions across New Jersey will go downhill during the day Friday, with heavy rain kicking in Friday night and peak wind gusts coming on Saturday.
