NJ bracing for new round of severe weather

Posted: Updated:

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Weather-weary New Jerseyans may soon be dealing with another round of severe weather.

The National Weather Service says a line of storms could bring damaging winds, hail, heavy rain and possibly tornadoes to New Jersey by late Saturday afternoon. That comes after heavy rains had soaked areas of the state earlier in the day, though no damage was reported.

Severe thunderstorm warnings were issued for most of the state, while a tornado watch was in effect for Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Passaic and Union counties. All the advisories were due to remain in effect until late Saturday.

Authorities say a tornado hit a beachfront neighborhood in New York City on Saturday morning, causing widespread damage but no injuries.
