I have chased tornadoes in the Southern Plains. I have chased storms in New Jersey. Even for trained spotters, one locale is way more challenging and dangerous.
Outdoor events were canceled all over New Jersey this weekend, as a powerful coastal storm system drove in nasty conditions — rain, wind, and coastal flooding.
This weekend's super soaker storm system is still in the neighborhood, keeping occasional gusty winds and coastal flooding in the forecast for a few more days.
Weather conditions across New Jersey will go downhill during the day Friday, with heavy rain kicking in Friday night and peak wind gusts coming on Saturday.
Two storm systems will lead to some rather inclement weather through the first half of the weekend; but there are bright spots in New Jersey's forecast too.
