NJ Weather: Hazardous Weather Outlook Issued For More Storms

Enjoy those cooler temperatures, New Jersey, because looks like we're not yet done with the bad weather.

The National Weather Service has issued a hazardous weather outlook for the entire state, saying that showers and thunderstorms may produce enough heavy rain resulting later Tuesday and overnight.

Potent storms will swing slowly eastward, according to AccWeather. The only question is how much it will impact New Jersey; the worst of it is expected to hit Pennsylvania and New York.

Some of the storms may become strong enough to bring an elevated risk of damaging winds and flash flooding, according to AccuWeather. A few of the strongest storms may produce a tornado.

During Tuesday night, the storms may weaken while crossing the Susquehanna and Delaware valleys, according to AccuWeather. However, torrential downpours and the risk of flash flooding are likely to extend eastward across Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York state and western New England.
