A storm which has the potential to be stronger and cause more damage than yesterday’s storm is on the way for the area, the National Weather Service said today.
After a rather hot day, a cold front will send the primary lines of potentially severe or flash flood producing thunderstorms into coastal New Jersey and Southern Delaware between 5 pm and 10 pm, the Service said.

“These storms are likely to be stronger than yesterday with potential for more extensive and greater damage.”

Be prepared for slower or altered travel due to excessive rain, damaging Wind and lightning strikes.

Monmouth County and far northeast Ocean County New Jersey are particularly vulnerable to flash flooding where more than 3 inches of rain fell late
Yesterday.

Pockets of widespread power outages are possible this evening and tonight.
