New Jersey braces for more strong storms Wednesday night

The National Weather Service issued a severe thunderstorm watch in two northern New Jersey counties, warning the public that strong storms could sweep across the region Wednesday evening and into the night.

A weakening tropical storm Nicholas will continue to impact the central Gulf Coast with torrential tropical rainfall and potentially life-threatening flash and urban flooding through Friday and an isolated tornado risk today.

Meanwhile, a strong cold front will likely produce severe thunderstorms with damaging winds, hail, isolated tornadoes and locally heavy rainfall in the Northeast quadrant of the U.S.

A line of storms continues to move into East Central and portions of southeastern PA. Damaging winds, hail, frequent lightning and brief heavy rain will be possible with these storms.
