2 Tornadoes Confirmed in Northern New Jersey as Severe Weather Impacts Tri-State Area

Survey teams will inspect damage after warnings expired, and officials said no immediate storm-related injuries were reported.

  • On Wednesday, the National Weather Service deployed teams to investigate two possible tornadoes that touched down in Parsippany-Troy Hills and Stanhope on Tuesday; surveyors are assessing damage to determine official ratings.
  • Tuesday's severe weather system triggered widespread disruptions across the region, with more than 6,000 flights canceled and 30,000 delayed; nearly 1,000 customers lost power at the height of the storm.
  • Witnesses in Stanhope reported trees destroyed along Route 206, with Flanders resident Julie Fischer describing the scene as "nothing like this"; social media posts captured funnel cloud formations across Morris and Essex counties.
  • Investigators are conducting a virtual survey of the waterspout near Cape May Point, where damage was sporadic and the circulation dissipated shortly after coming ashore; the NWS expects final findings by Wednesday evening.
  • While the severe weather risk is lower Wednesday, isolated thunderstorms with damaging winds remain possible Wednesday afternoon; emergency officials continue monitoring power outages and road safety following Tuesday's destruction.
