More thunderstorms expected in NJ

Rains continue to lash New Jersey and more thunderstorms are expected today.

The thunderstorms that moved across New Jersey on Thursday night might have cleared, but more rain is expected today.

These thunderstorms passed over the state causing hail and high wind in many places and also brought along news of some damage.

Friday will bring more showers and thunderstorms, with around 2 to 4 inches of rain expected in some parts.

Flash flood warnings issued
A flash flood watch, which has been in effect since Thursday morning, has been extended till Friday night.

The National Weather Services’ office in Mount Holly issued the watch for Sussex, Warren, Morris, Hunterdon, Somerset and Middlesex.

According to NWS, the slow moving storms and resultant rains could renew the flooding problems witnessed by the state earlier in the week.

The rains are not expected to be as bad as last week, but with the already swollen water bodies, flash floods are very likely.

Forecast for the weekend
Saturday will mostly be sunny. But there are still 20 percent chances of rains.

Sunday also is expected to bring in some showers and thunderstorms as well. The wet spell may well continue into the coming week.

The rains and floods that have blasted the state since last week have been the worst the state has witnessed in the last 70 years.
