There is still great uncertainty regarding the timing and intensity of the CMEs here at Earth. We appear to be dealing with at least 3 CMEs, one of which is faster than the others, so a combination event is likely. Keep visiting spaceweather.gov for the latest.

✨ Northern lights in NJ tonight? A G3 solar storm is possible! WHEN: 8PM-1AM looking *very* low on the northern horizon away from city lights. Use a long-exposure photo to catch faint pink/green hues. OTHER IMPACTS: Minor GPS lags possible during the day. @News12NJ #NJwx

Enjoying the anticyclone? ☀️ This massive high-pressure system is locking in gorgeous weather by blocking storms. As it moves offshore, south winds will pull in heat and humidity. Get ready for summer weather!! It'll hit the 90s by the end of the week! @News12NJ #NJwx

It'll be dry and mostly sunny this week! It's rather uneventful... However today: AM clouds clear to PM sun with a light northerly breeze at 10-15mph. A rogue/unplanned spot shower may pop-up but unlikely *Real* rain holds off until next week, believe it or not! @News12NJ #NJwx

Thanks Mike — Spain really is in for a treat with three eclipses in under 18 months. (A rare situation indeed!) BTW, I created an “eclipse-at-the-touch-of-a-button” experience at @RoyalCaribbean — a rather stunning video projection with accompanying music on #HarmonyoftheSeas. Did you ever catch it? 😇

It'll be breezy today, but the north wind is dry, so it feels pleasant! Highs will reach the upper 70s and stay in the 70s through tomorrow and the weekend. Yes, this weekend is nice! Saturday trends a touch cooler (upper 60s/low 70s), but still sunny. @News12NJ #NJwx

🥵 Another scorcher today with highs in the mid-90s & feels-like temps near 100! 💨Storms bust the heat after 4 PM, moving W to E. Some could be severe with 40-60mph gusts. A big cooldown follows! Highs drop to the mid-60s with clouds & weekend periods of rain @News12NJ #NJwx
