Advisory
SEVERE WEATHER AND FLOODING THREATS THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING
* SEVERE WEATHER AND FLOODING THREATS THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING *
THREAT TIME: FRIDAY 2:00 PM - SATURDAY 12:00 AM
THREAT MAXIMIZED 6 - 9 PM
Scattered "pop-up" T-storms will develop after 2 PM today well ahead of an approaching cold front. As the cold front slides through the area, a more widespread line of showers/storms is anticipated to impact the region. The greatest severe threat will actually occur with the pop-up storms mid to late afternoon as the highest instability will exist over this period. Damaging winds & isolated large hail will be possible through this time, along with a threat for poor drainage and localized stream/creek flooding (area is vulnerable to flooding due to recent rains).
The main line of storms this evening will slowly sag through the area, bringing a more isolated threat for damaging winds along with a continued flood threat. One additional factor to note with this event is that high soil moisture will increase the risk for uprooted trees where high winds occur this afternoon, increasing area vulnerability to wind damage.
CANCELLED EVENT -
Tonight’s Concert at Woodlot Park has been cancelled due to the potential for inclement weather this evening. This event will be rescheduled by South Brunswick Recreation Department.
