Storms move into the area, but lose punch

A frontal boundary has been pushing East all day. Earlier, quite a bit of instability existed for areas of the Garden State, bit as the progressed, and the sun set, the instability has decreased.

Severe Thunderstorms Possible This PM

Keep a watchful eye to the sky this afternoon. A frontal boundary will be moving through and will touch off potentially severe thunderstorms. The excessive heat and humidity will also further aid the development.

Tropical Storm Beryl Named

Well, for the second time in a week, we have another named tropical system. This will be the second named storm prior to the beginning of the official "Hurricane Season" on June 1.
