Severe weather in New Jersey and Pennsylvania

Overview

In August, New Jersey experienced a prolonged heat wave lasting at least five days. While humidity levels decreased over time, high temperatures remained near 90 degrees, prompting a heat advisory for the northeastern urban corridor due to heat indices potentially reaching the upper 90s. During this period, there was also a risk of severe thunderstorms capable of producing heavy rain, lightning, and wind damage.

By early September, the weather patterns shifted toward severe thunderstorm threats across Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The National Weather Service issued warnings and watches for multiple counties, noting storms capable of producing 70 mph wind gusts and nickel-sized hail, which posed risks to trees, roofs, and mobile homes.
