Here we go again. The weather pattern is turning very summery and potentially very stormy again for New Jersey.

Since Friday, July 3, parts of the state have picked up more than a month's worth of rain in three to four days. With more on the way, if the same neighborhoods see more storms, flash flooding will be a problem.

Tonight is quiet. Humidity will continue to build. This swampy weather will smother the state for tomorrow and Friday. As temperatures top off in the upper 80s and low 90s, not only will it feel like triple digits, but in that unstable weather environment, thunderstorms will begin to develop tomorrow night. These showers and storms can be efficient rain producers, increasing the risk of flash flooding.
