New Jersey is not in the track of either storm, but the state could be hit with wind, rain, rip currents and possible flooding this week.
Hurricane Franklin may bring the chance of thunderstorms and scattered showers to parts of New Jersey on Tuesday. The double threat of Tropical Storm Idalia and Hurricane Franklin will have less of an impact on New Jersey than elsewhere, but forecasters say there’s still a chance of gusting winds, heavy rainfall and coastal flooding later in the week.
On Monday, swells emanating from distant Hurricane Franklin may begin to reach the coastal waters of New Jersey, according to the National Weather Service in Mount Holly. There is a moderate risk for the development of dangerous rip currents for New Jersey beaches as a result of Hurricane Franklin. However, there were no active warnings or advisories in the state as of Monday morning. New Jersey will have a chance of showers during the day Tuesday, with the possibility of thunderstorms increasing after 9 p.m. through early Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service. New Jersey can expect building swells and dangerous rip currents along the coast as distant Hurricane Franklin continues. For Wednesday night through Thursday, high pressure gradually builds while Idalia passes through Florida and chugs north in the vicinity of the Carolinas, the National Weather Service in Mount Holly said in Monday’s morning forecast discussion. Idalia could approach Florida on Wednesday with winds of up to 100 mph, according to the latest forecast from the Hurricane Center. Idalia should then move out to sea Thursday night through Friday, keeping any significant land impact from the storm to the south. New Jersey can expect winds gusting up to 30 mph on Thursday near Cape May, according to the National Weather Service. Tropical Storm Idalia is expected to impact the southern U.S. and should have minimal impact on land in New Jersey. Tropical Storm Idalia and Hurricane Franklin will bring cooler temperatures to the Northeast, according to forecasters. Temperatures will be on the cool side Thursday with highs mainly in the 70s. This will be a trend throughout the Northeast, according to AccuWeather. Temperatures that had been rising into the 80s and 90s the last few weeks will struggle to get out of the 70s on Monday, including in Boston and New York City. In parts of the interior Northeast, these temperatures are more typical for the end of September rather than the end of August, according to AccuWeather. The rest of Monday is expected to be cloudy with highs in the mid-to-upper 70s. The chance of thunderstorms thatThank you for relying on us to provide the local weather news you can trust.
