STORM WATCH: Severe thunderstorms possible this afternoon, snowflakes mix with rain Friday

A to do right? Yeah, raining rain to maybe some wet snowflakes tomorrow. Things are going to be rocking and rolling into the weekend. At least it'll be dry for the weekend for most of us. But look at the future cast. I mean, we are just covered in rain this afternoon and we're going to continue to see that pretty much all morning on Friday. So you can see that there just It's absolutely messy. That's the one word to sum up this whole forecast. Messy. But it's going to be a different kind of mess. We have to watch out for some stronger storms today. And then it's just heavy, cold rain for Friday. And yeah, some of those isolated snowflakes. So this morning, it's just plain rain for most of North Jersey. It's a light rain. That's going to be with you pretty much all morning. So this is a live look outside now. We're going to be in the 60s for the afternoon. Central and South Jersey especially will have to watch out for thunderstorms, but then on the back end of this, everybody's looking at cold rain on Friday. So yeah, like Lauren said, start planning those indoor activities for Friday because it is looking just gross and gloomy and potentially even watching for snowflakes, which is absolutely wild because what you see on the screen here is severe thunderstorms. That threat. For today, especially south of the southern extent of the I-287 corridor, but you can see a pretty good chunk. of the Garden State in on that risk for severe storms this afternoon. Let's talk about the timing spotty showers this morning become widespread this afternoon. Temperatures are going to be pretty chilly in North Jersey. We're only in the forties in Hamburg this afternoon, but mid to upper fifties once you get south of Bridgewater, maybe even some sixties and that could spark some of those stronger storms. So the evening commute is looking messy because of the storms. But let's talk about Friday. Friday morning's commute, we do have wet snowflakes for our higher elevations, so we cannot rule out those wet snowflakes for Friday morning. We're not expecting widespread accumulation, but higher elevations could see up to an inch of snow. The rest of us, I mean, it's a novelty thing, but it's still potentially going to bring us some pretty messy weather because it's raining. And that rain could really, really pile up between today and tomorrow. Widespread one to two inches of rain in the forecast. So we're going to keep you in the red all morning and early afternoon Friday.
