Severe Thunderstorm Warnings Issued Across New Jersey and Pennsylvania
US · Published Aug 8, 2026
Strong thunderstorms moved across northern and eastern Pennsylvania into parts of New Jersey on Friday afternoon, prompting the National Weather Service to issue multiple severe thunderstorm warnings.
The first warning was issued at 2:48 p.m.

Impact & Risks

The severe thunderstorms pose risks of damaging wind gusts, hail, and heavy rainfall, which could lead to localized flooding. With the ground already saturated from earlier storms, drainage systems may become overwhelmed, particularly on roads and highways. Wind gusts of up to 60 mph could snap tree branches and power lines, potentially causing power outages. Residents in affected areas should remain alert for rapidly changing weather conditions and heed warnings from local authorities.
