New Jersey's Fourth of July will be a hot and sticky one, with temperatures rising into the upper 80s in interior areas and humidity rising to uncomfortable levels. Added to that is a risk of scattered thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening.For most interior sections of the state, Thursday should start off with partly sunny skies, with temperatures rising into the upper 80s in the afternoon and humidity levels climbing high to uncomfortable levels, forecasters said. Temperatures along the Jersey Shore are forecast to hover in the mid- to upper 70s. Because of the high temperatures and humidity, the weather service has issued a heat advisory for several counties — Camden, Gloucester, Mercer and Salem, along with northwestern Burlington, effective from 10 a.m. Thursday through 8 p.m. Friday. The heat index, how hot it feels to humans when temperatures and humidity are combined, could rise as high as 102 degrees in those parts of the state.

Forecasters say rain showers and thunderstorms will likely become more widespread on Saturday — with some of those storms having the potential to drop heavy rain over a short time-frame and lead to isolated areas of flash flooding, river flooding and stream flooding.N.J. weather: Increasing heat, humidity, possible thunderstorm threat returning for July 4thIf you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.and agree that your clicks, interactions, and personal information may be collected, recorded, and/or stored by us and social media and other third-party partners in accordance with our
