Scattered strong thunderstorms are expected to enter eastern Pennsylvania this evening and cross the Delaware River into Hunterdon between around 8 and 10 p.m.
And it’s a hot day. Today's heat indices across much of the Delaware Valley and surrounding areas will reach the upper 90s, the National Weather Service said. This heat will precede a band of strong thunderstorms racing eastward from Pennsylvania late today.
Around 1 p.m., thermometers showed 86 degrees in Pittstown, 87 in Kingwood Townshp, 89 in Stewartsville, Warren County and 92 in Hillsborough Township, Somerset County.
The primary threat for scattered storms producing pockets of damaging wind in eastern Pennsylvania is between 6 and 8 p.m. and the remains of a “probable dying squall line” should then cross into the Hunterdon County area later, NWS said.
It urged people to monitor weather reports for possible severe weather watches, warnings and statements.
