Tropical Storm Chantal’s Remnants Set to Rattle New Jersey and New York
Brace yourselves, folks! This week, New Jersey and parts of New York are gearing up for a wild weather ride as the remnants of Tropical Storm Chantal sweep through. Starting Monday, expect a flurry of thunderstorms and some heavy downpours that could leave you grabbing for your umbrellas!
What to Expect on the Weather Front
The buildup begins with warm temperatures soaring into the upper 80s to low 90s this Sunday as Chantal drifts in, bringing with it a tropical air mass that will crank up the humidity. Already, residents across most of New Jersey are facing air quality alerts due to the sticky conditions. So if you’re heading out, don’t forget to take some precautions!
As we head into Monday and Tuesday, temperatures are expected to hover around the upper 80s to low 90s, and with the index factor thrown into the mix, it could feel like the mid-90s. Stay hydrated, folks! The combination of moisture from Chantal is priming the atmosphere for thunderstorms, particularly on those two days. Be prepared for sudden changes in the weather—anything from a sunny moment to dark clouds rolling in!
Rainfall and Flooding Potential
The National Weather Service has waved the flag on potential **torrential downpours**, especially in southern New Jersey, where localized flooding could become a concern. Rainfall amounts could easily hit between 1 to 2 inches, so make sure your gutters are clear! Though there could be isolated storms that generate strong wind gusts, widespread severe storms are not on the agenda.
Timing and Today’s Forecast
If you’re in Staten Island, keep an eye on the sky. Monday is looking particularly active, with a high of 88 degrees and the chance of thunderstorms rolling in after 11 a.m.. On Tuesday, the forecast calls for more showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 2 p.m., with temperatures expected to echo Monday’s high.
After a rocky start to the week, Wednesday may gift us some reprieve with mostly sunny skies and a high nearing 86 degrees. But don’t get too comfy! Late evening may usher in more chances for showers and thunderstorms.
Thursday doesn’t look too promising either, as rain is expected to linger until 2 p.m., with the temperature settling around 83 degrees. But hang tight for potential thunderstorms that could pop up afterwards!
