Got caught in it in West Orange. Water coming down in buckets. Seems to have passed for now... Temperature dropped 12 degrees.
These storms have passed but the likelihood of further storms exists and the Watch remains in effect until 9:00pm
I had intentions of going from Maplewood to Jersey City around 5:00. Would that be a mistake?

Any info on a tornado touching down in Springfield?
No. I would be very very surprised if this system threw off a tornado. There was no sign of rotation in this storm at all. However, there were some pretty impressive straight-line winds, so maybe that's what they ssaw.

Looks like I may have been wrong about that...
CBS News just showed images of the aftermath of a tornado touching down in Springfield.
Not saying Tapinto is the most reliable source ... I have not been able to find a confirmation on this from the NWS.
I saw a video of it. The news story said it was the sixth tornado so far this year in NJ. (Normal is 2 per year for the state.)

People are saying it touched down around rte 22 and the Springfield Ave intersection. I know a lot of people have lost power.

Yes it's getting to be some regular occurrence this year. Unnerving.

You are the bestest, max! I go to NWS/NOAA first but always check in with you for the hyperlocal forcast.
Promote your business here - Businesses get highlighted throughout the site and you can add a deal.
There are, at the moment, thunderstorms on three sides of us but not actually here (the one east of us is really close, though, so you can hear the thunder).
Ok, I take that back, it is moving away but growing so fast it is also moving towards the eastern part of town!
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH until 9:00 pm tonight!
