feeling like 93 right now over towards poughkeepsie and 94 currently in morristown. for the most part, all is quiet, other than a spot shower or spot thunderstorm just north of toms river. and that will be the story for the next few hours. otherwise for tonight we'll just see partly cloudy skies. but there is plenty of action off to the west. and eventually we'll get into this as we head towards thursday and friday. but ahead of that storm system, the winds will stay southerly, and as a result it will get more and more humid over the next couple days, even though we pa're going to start to cool down, as this big ridge of high pressure sitting on top ooyus starts to weaken. now in the meantime, out towards the atlantic right here, we do have a wave of lower pressure. at the national hurricane center, giving this a 50% chance of becoming a tropical system. if it does, it will be danny. and right now all the long-term models are taking it towards the lesser antilles, so something we'll watch over the next few days. otherwise future tracker shows tonight we're partly clo

this is a cell responsible for the flooding there, now approaching morristown, and troy hills, you but not as intense over the berkeley heights plainfield area and dumping almost 4 inches of rain in about three hours. so they've got flash flooding happening there, and we've got storm reports from across that area right now where they have been seeing all that heavy rain. these are some of the reports. we saw some of the video and pictures from berkeley heights, multiple water rescues under way there. scotch plains roads closed on u.s. 22 between bonnie bern road and mountainsi , 22 is closed between mountain avenue and new providence road because of flash flooding. tropical moisture moving from the south, the axis here over new jersey and the hudson valley and catskills. these showers continue until at least 6:00 or 7:00. they'll start to weaken and dissipate throughout the rest of the evening. left over with sprinkles overnight. we will get some clearing tomorrow. in some spots there will e sunshine. still very muggy, still the possibility of a couple of spot showers in the afternoon.

police in somerset and morristown say they had multiple calls, a few dozen calls concerned about the rumbling and shaking of homes but no immediate reports of damage. we are told it was a 2.5 magnitude earthquake, enough to scare people. emergency officials say as soon as the sun comes up, they want homeowners, business owners to check their property for cracks in the foundation, cracks in the road, the driveway leading up to them so that would help. let's listen to what woman told me at the train station. >> i was shaving this morning and all of a sudden i heard this bang and i thought something exploded. i felt the building shake. i looked outside to see if i saw anything. i didn't see anything. i thought it was an accident. then five minutes later, two or three fire trucks, ambulance up there. but it was pretty bad. >> so, emergency officials in this area did respond to some of the calls but, again, no major damage was found there. but now as the sun comes up, you want to check your property and make sure that stays the case. a 2.5 magnitude earthquake in bernardsville, new jersey

same number in morristown. 90 towards danbury. northern fairfield county. for the most part, all is quiet, except for one isolated shower now into western monmouth county. lots of action, though, into the ohio valley, and the great lakes. all connected to a front that's sitting right here, and eventually that front will make its way into the region. that won't happen until thursday or friday. otherwise, high pressure sitting on top of us, keeping things very warm. this high, though, will start to weaken over the next few days and as a result temperatures do start to drop. but with the southerly winds in place, it will only get more and more humid. now if you're stepping out this evening, no real issues. maybe just a stray shower. otherwise, we'll have a couple clouds around, and by 11:00 p.m., still very warm with temperatures right around 80 degrees. as we head towards wednesday, that's when temperatures are down into the mid 80s. but it's really humid outside. maybe a spot storm north and west, but a much better chance of storminess as we head towards lat

in central park, still simmering at 96 degrees at newark and interior parts of new jersey, 97 at morristown, you get a little rain cooled -- or not rain cooled but cloud cooled 88 on the shore at belmar. the heat index values well into new jersey. we have an air quality alert in effect until 11:00 p.m. out there. if you have any type of heart or lung condition you would want to avoid any type of strenuous activity outdoors into the evening hours. these are the storms we have been talking about, one blew up right near the george washington bridge, affected inwood, parts of the bronx and then moved into parts of queens. that has since weakened. one little shower on the queens brooklyn border, couple of other showers north of -- and east of long branch in new jersey so again this first heatwave in central park since july of 2013, over two years ago, you're going to want to stay in air conditioned places if you can. if you can't, stay hydrated and avoid heavy exercise outside. a little bit of relief from the heat tomorrow but at the same time the humidity is going to come up. we are going to at

still a pair of eights at sussex and morristown, upper 70s, though, on the island with that southerly wind really bringing in some cooler air off the atlantic ocean. what i'm concerned about, though, is even though we lose the heatwave, humidity if anything is going to be increasing the next several days, eventually a storm system will interact with that humidity and that could mean some heavy downpours later on in the week. we will detail that in your full accuweather seven-day forecast coming up. liz. >> jeff, thank you. >>> following breaking news right now, two children seriously hurt after they were hit by a vehicle. this happened in new rochelle a short time ago. police say the children were walking behind an apartment building when the accident happened. they are listed in serious condition at a local hospital. the crash is now under investigation. >>> and another breaking story, this one in nearby larchmont, firefighters are at the scene of a huge fire that broke out this afternoon. fast moving flames destroyed the salt shed inside a facility that is owned and operated by the

morristown expected to go to the mid-50s because of the clear skies. open the windows and enjoy the dry cool atmosphere. in the coming days you have to crank up the ac to be cool. warmer tomorrow. we remained low with the humidity. it will barely clean up then turns hot and humid over the weekend. maybe the first heat wave. we have a chance of 90 for about five or six days in a row. on accutrack, no storms. not were rid about showers for the next few days. we have a high pressure system in control. it will increase the humidity. expect the temperature climb to happen tomorrow. 87 in the afternoon. then more intense see identification of the southerly wind. that will bring humid air in and 90 is the expected temperature on saturday. heading to the beach, doing boating, west wind 5 to 10 miles per hour. water temperatures up to 77. rip current risk is low for the rest of this evening and tomorrow. so, if you are out on the water, beware of that. 68 degrees tonight. 60s in the suburbs. 50s in some pockets. tomorrow plenty of sunshine. humidity manageable

i wanted to show you the heat index for the afternoon. 95 in the city. 98 morristown. of this. it will get close to 100 around a good portion of the area. that's a land breeze coming across. tomorrow afternoon, the heat index will be in the 90s to mid- 90s around much of the tri- state area into the afternoon tomorrow. report heat today. 96, break the old mark of 95 set in 1944, a hot year across new jersey. 94. so, we are looking at hot and humid weather. a spotty thunderstorm. a long time in breaking that record. patchy clouds tonight. warm and humid, 78. 93. that gives us an official heat wave in new york city. hot and humid weather. wednesday. then we have a thunderstorm or two popping up. muggy thursday and we still have the humidity hanging around all week even though we weather. stuff. >> stuffy? >> stuffy. >> not stuffy around here. >> no. >> i like stuffing. >> coming up in two months. three months. >> stuffing is good any time. >> stay cool. >> comfort food. >> debbie duhaime you make good stuffing. >> i love stuffing. my favorite on thanksgiving. talking about alread

specifically in morristown and sussex. visibility reduced there. popped up to 7. temperatures warm up. 3/4 of a mile visibility in sussex. keep that in mind if you're heading into the city. just like yesterday, much of new jersey, all the counties shaded in gray and fairfield county, really everyone the idea is to take it epy. yo wa to limit the strenuo outdoor activity with the air quality not so great on this hot and steamy day. on storm tracker, a quiet picture now. we could have storms later on today. they'll be few and far between. 71 in mamaroneck pmaroneck. 70 in long branch. temperatures in the -- temperatures in the 80s this time of year. instead we're doing mid-90s. about 11 degrees above average. thois wilmake it a heat wave. this will be our third day in a row with temperatures at or above 90 degrees. even a: 7:00 tonight for the twins taking on the yanks, it's still 87t the first pitch. it's going ho be a hot and muggy game. go and get ready to drink lots of water and try to stay cool. here's a look at the seoun-day forecast. 94 for today. temperature

northwest wind under 10 miles per hour. 48 in morristown. morning lows in the 50s for all the northern counties. highbridge jumped to 52. laguardia. degrees. 65 for islip. start. a gorgeous afternoon ahead of us. heat and humidity do build over the weekend and early next week, the last few days of august are hot. storm erica is about to soak parts of -- which we have seen the pictures coming in of puerto rico. slow moving storm. where is it heading next is the big question. we take a look at this. after it makes its way through the caribbean, the question is will it make it into an area where it can intensify more or stay in an unfavorable situation where it keeps it unfavorable. some make it a small category 1 storm. everything shifted to the left keeping winds 60 miles per hour through the weekend. so, the place where it's favorable to intensify would be right here before it gets to the coast of florida. it depends on the winds and how fast the storm is moving. this will be from update to update a discovery of what we are expecting for thi

temperatures, 55 in millford, and 66 for morristown, and 74 already in newark. we started off chilly in the hudson valley. it temperatures low 60s, upper 50s, and poughkeepsie, we had monticello at 48 degrees this morning. that's chilly, and a little sign that summer is dwindling a bit, and we are under the influence of the cool, air dry mass allowing the temperatures to fall fast, and we will warm up nicely during the day, and the temperature profile is low to mid-80s at 3:00 or 4:00 this afternoon. heat and humidity build here. the last weekend of august, and we are actually going to gear up to start september with the sizzling hot temperatures with the low 90s, and that increase in humidity will be uncomfortable at times. erika is unlikely to develop into a depression. the rain is still there, and actually for florida, they still need rain, and if we can get this spread over a good period of time with the slowness of the storm it will actually turn out to be good news for florida. we are sandwiched between two systems. one across the midwest. and across chica

morristown down to 48 last night. our normal overnight low is 67. we could get close to that. the record for this date, 101. heat for the second half of the weekend but not quilt yet. morning. chilly, monticello, 48. 58 for white plains. right now temperatures are climbing quick. newark up to almost 80. all the spots that started in 60s and 70s. islip currently at 76 degrees and we will see those numbers probably top out low to mid-80s for the most part. high pressure is in control. a bit of a sea breeze developing this afternoon. looking into the weekend. the next chance for showers would be north and west late afternoon sunday and even those look isolated and don't look like they become, you know, widespread by any means. clouds for monday. heat and humidity firmly in place. afternoon thunderstorm wouldn't be a surprise early next week. catskills, ham tons and jersey shore, getting way today, nice weather. carries into tomorrow, a few degrees warmer. sunday an isolated chance of a shower in the catskills. that is the only wrinkle we can see. a fantastic weekend. last weekend

that's why the temperatures will fire this afternoon to some forecast heat indices of 97 in morristown. it's easy for this section of new jersey. see the red in here, passaic, bergen, hudson, union county and down to middlesex it can get to 100 for the real feel this afternoon. then tomorrow morning we start out with a real feel around 80. then by afternoon tomorrow, 90, 92. but the temperature will be about 93. record high tomorrow 94. we might could break a record tomorrow. we have to see how it works out. rip current risk at the beaches for south shore of long island and new york city, that is a moderate risk and jersey shore a low risk. it's flat. the sea breeze will kick up a little bit this afternoon. that will pick up to 5 to 10 knots, 15 knots. tomorrow there will be that glow out of the southwest ahead of the front. the front gets here thursday. that's when we get showers and thunderstorms. there could be a spotty storm around this afternoon. that is a low chance. we mention it in case you run into one. it's really tonight that it's warm and humid, stuffy, 78. one. it's around
