The NWS has issued Severe Thunderstorm WARNINGS for parts of Central Jersey.  These storms are capable of producing quarter-sized hail and destructive winds in excess of 60mph.  If you are in the path of these storms, PLEASE SEEK SHELTER IMMEDIATELY!  If you can hear thunder, you can be struck by lightning!

I'm personally keeping an eye on the cell near Jackson, NJ.  This cell is producing pink& purple colors on the composite radar, which hints towards a very intense thunderstorm that may actually spawn a tornado.  To keep an eye on the storm, head to the WeatherCoats Weather Center and track it with the Interactive Weather Map or go to the NWS Radar & Warnings Map.
